Nothing this mornig saw a couple could have shot some. But I tend to wait for one more pass and they will comit but no luck. Ice was pretty think up on the river.
Guy I talked to went to Old Hickory and killed a six man limit yesterday.

All Mallards???

I'm gonna go freeze my balls ONE MORE TIME in the morning!...talked to 2 buddies that hunted upriver this morning that killed their limit of mallards and blacks...

Well, spent Saturday mornin doin exactly as I expected emoBang ....freezin my nuts off in 8* air temp, bustin ice to get my spread setup for a few divers...never even saw a dabbler emoVomit ...Unless I see some premonition to make me change my mind, I'm officially done with it for this year!

Hunted sat. and had to break through a bunch of ice and had to clean up the decoys of ice every 20 minutes till about 9:30 untill the wind shifted and blew out the ice. I had several groups of mallards work early and could have shot at 2 of the 3 groups but they were just on the edge of range. Had some gads work a bit later in the morn and came just where I felt comfortable to shoot nocked one down on the first shot and waffled him twice on the water and he swam off, never got him looked like I just broke his wing. Overall seemed to be alot more birds in the air, however the ones here seem to be quite smart they wont close the deal and give you that 50+ yd pass shot outside the deeks and I have not been able to connect. I saw three ringnecks that buzzed the decoys and had my gun laying next to me and never got a crack at them. Not paying attention. Heard the most shooting all year and the boys I talked to had a few birds but nothing spectacular. Next weekend we will see what it brings.

It should get right this weekend as soon as it thaws out. I have had some good hunts right after a thaw.
