Teal seson wrap up

We had a great hunt last Saturday. Plenty of teal around to shoot at and plenty worked the decoys as well. At first light we was still setting out decoys. The the Teal started to move, so we ("sioutdoors" and "Zettler" on the fuge) got settled int the buck brush. One lone Bluewing drops into the decoys and jumps around trying to find his place in the blocks. After a few seconds he decides to find rest elsewhere. And then from the right a big flock of Bluewings makes their way around the corner of the buck brush and gives us a fly by. But This was still before legal shooting time. We pondered if that was going to be our only shot at the little blue jets. But that was not the case. Out front a nice group of Teal pass by, I give them my best Bluewing impression I could muster out of my Primos Timber Whench. And they loved it. Circled back around andheaded straight for us. With the decoys set with in 20 yards of our hide I called the shot before they got to the decoys, as to adjust to their speed as we let the hammer fly. I called it out, those famous words every waterfowler loves to hear. TAKE EM. I pulled up and found a target and pulled the trigger back. Boom I watch in amazement as the first shot connects. Found another target and pulled the trigger back for the second time. Boom I watch again in amazement as my second target met its maker. I looked for a third but at this time they had made their way out of range, but that didn't stop me from trying anyway. Boom although this time i couldn't connect with the fastly speeding away jets. All the while I never noticed my hunting partner had shot at all. Let alone nocked two down him self. Thats right 4 with six shots. Now not the best I've ever heard of. But to get two with two shots I think is harder than getting two with one shot when you calculate in their speed. Now We walked out and collected our prize and almost ran back to cover as we knew the Teal wasn't staying around long for the sun she was a rising. We did have a couple of pairs come buy for a look see. Although I couldn't connect the rest of the day my Hunting companion could. He got his four I was happy with the two. At about 8:30 we called it quits as we had a early appointment to get to. On the way back we ran into some boat motor problems and I had to paddle the boat back to the ramp. With a sculling paddle. Good thing we wasn't to far. Just about 3/8 of a mile. About half way there i decided to get close to the bank and walk the boat to the ramp. Talk about a work out. 5mm waders with 1600 grams in the boot, they was not the ideal wader for early season at all. we got loaded up and made our way back home with the felling of pride and yet wanting more at the same time. After all we was just two shy of a full limit. But it was a good season none the less. With sixteen birds killed and a whole heck of alot more shots fired we had a great time. In four hunts each time with two guys i think we did all right. Here is the porch pic from last Saturday Until my next post stay safe, have fun and keep it in the kill zone.
