Met up with Kylie & Yan at HW and was in the water around 5AM. Setup in a spot protected from the winds but exposed to the bright sunrise...
We didn't have much activity early though WWIII was breaking out behind us. Finally after 30 minutes the birds started heading to the bay. We had a group of teal work and then flare, by this time we had already sent Yan 200 yards down the shoreline who was posted up making sure no birds sat down the coast from us.
Yan got a nice teal and Kylie & I had a group of Pintails come in straight out of the sun. We dropped 3 and wouldn't you know it Kylie gets a banded pintail drake.
I've been hunting for 20 something years now and this is his first year hunting ducks and shoots one out of my boat.
I'm glad he got it though and not I... I think it would have made it more memorable IF I had shot it and Sadie had been there to retrieve it etc. (she's out for season with ear infections)
Good shooting yesterday despite the okay flight near our area... BTW I missed out on 3 bands in 2 days... I'm a little upset to say the least lol
