Done

Happy Campers
 Two  days ago some really nasty weather rolled into Saskatchewan ,The decision was mutually made to cancel the up and coming hunts .We hunkered down waited out the worst of the weather then hunted Ducks over an acre sized pothole that had a 20 foot opening, the  rest was ice .
As we approached the slough in the darkness  wave after wave of Mallards took off to feed, we quickly set up then hid in the grass and waited .
The Mallards came in , singles , pairs and larger groups they all wanted to get back to the only open water for miles.For the four of us the shoot was amazing ,picking Green Heads out of the flights and either dropping or missing them .Tish did an outstanding job on the retrieves ,crashing thru the ice to get to the birds ,we did an okay job on putting birds on the ground ..32 ducks in 1 hour not bad .
I was shooting my 12 gauge Superposed ,Tungsten loads worked well , the Bismuth sucked and I was glad I had the right clothing as the air temp. was frigid.
Back at camp we were all giddy with the way the shoot went off , hoping that we could repeat the performance this morning but that  was not in the cards as all the water is frozen and the Waterfowl are heading south ... and so am I.
Thanks ot all that made it up to Bird Camp , we will see you next year .
