FOG all morning. Luan and I sat in #6 blind and didn't get a reasonable shot at a big duck. I took on a little flight of teal and killed one pretty little hen - that was our duck shoot!
After a few drinks and some lunch down, we walked and I set out after the mipe. We worked over 5ad, Little Joe's, the Round Barn Amex, and the S end of the Valrace landing pasture. The light was poor as the fog was heavy so we missed a lot of birds and didn't even shoot at others. But we ended up with 15 birds - 8 wam, 6 ose, 1 PB2. There are plenty of mipe in the area. The problem is to get good clean shots.
Decided to give the pheasants a whirl so we surrounded Hot Corner and found away a blind! As we were getting into the car I saw a couple of pheasants fly into the weedy ditch just N of Hot Corna, so we bracketed that and Luan got a hen bird with a nice long shot. Well that was called it a day.
Curious lack of geese in our area - they don't even come over high. Where are they? I think I've seen more swans than geese.
No reasonable hunted count in the fog.
