Sanson Nov. 11, 1978 I was last choice and ended up high gun. Woody at Ward in #2 (blinds), Jd in #6 (5 sprig), Dennis in #4 (5 nice ducks), and I was in #5 with six ducks and two jacksnipe. Picked up one more snipe on the way out. They were a strong NW wind all last night and this morning till noon (20 m.p.h.). A heavy northward flight continued all morning passing east of me. But we got a little spin-off and had occasional birds coming in all morning. At #5 the shooting was mostly pretty high but I did surprisingly well (often in a wind I can't hit my hat). Made one very high double or got sprigs out of a flock of a dozen or so. Wind quit about when we did, at noon, and I will venture a guess that the ducks sat pretty quiet for a day or so. Hard set crowded traps last evening but caught hardly a thing. Apparently the beaters have gone into the mud for the winter. A couple of weeks ago he got some 60 in one trap. After a bit of lunch we went pheasant hunting in the newly cut corn at north end of Vallec. Good made of birds, and the boys got about 10 between three of them. I didn't get a shot! I came home early to cook dinner for Betty, Kay, Sally (who has Gavin here for first visit, two weeks old).
