After the hunt, we gathered at Floyd's for breakfast. His house is on the other side of the pines in the field photo which is the first photo. For the two hours we stayed at his house, from the dining room's second story picture window, and less than 200 yards from the field, we saw flight after flight fly across the salt marsh and return to the field after the hunt. Rice fattened teal taste pretty good to me.

Fantastic Gil, one of my favorites. It was pretty slow in my area, and throughout much of the state, this year. Just didn't hear many good reports. I guess I know where all the birds were! We did scratch out a great hunt on the last day of the season. The only "bad" part was that I killed most of my 6 bird limit in 2 shots
I love watching, and listening, to the big groups work, but I'll take 6 singles any day when it comes to shooting.

Thanks, fellas. That day was a throwback to about 40 years ago when we had the ducks. And 40 years ago, folks were telling us that 40 years earlier they really had the ducks. The little 6 acre field was about the only game in town according to two different pairs of game wardens that checked the two hunts. Another plantation bordering the refuge had bwt's in a flooded field about 6 miles up the river but not in the same numbers. On the day we shot, we didn't hear a single shot off the premises. The ducks were in the numbers that we see on a good opening day dove hunt, but more concentrated because of field size. Gil
