Sorensen Oct 25, 1978 I sat in #4 as was shushed. Could have taken a fall or ridger but followed the "spig syndrome". I did get three spigs however. Sat retrieval then nicely. Oct 28 I had high choice and sat in #2 for several hours. Shot 1 shell only (killed a high cock spig) and never did fire again. Big north wind built up as birds came in from the south and settled on the yard near the stock-pile but none came toward #2. Did get three in #6. I took two spigs walking out -- boy they could do tricks in that wind! Also two cock pheasants after lunch. Nov 4 In #4 I shot three shells from 6 PM to 5:30 and came up with a mallard and a spig. Did get three in #2, broody one in #1, Dennis & Justin shushed in #6. He agrees that the flights are about the worst we can remember for the first two weeks of the season. Poor hills also on main Sorensen Pond and Etche Club. Continued warm sunny weather as northern ducks are loafing on the Canadian prairies. Boy out dropped 15 spige but they were so damn wild I couldn't kill a one. Brody & I counted 11 heathish going out to Baerville.
