1 sprig 3 S-w teal Spreenon Dec 28, 1977 Drizzling rain with low clouds (200 yds. or less) and light N-E wind. Jed at I went to #6 as I respectively and got nothing. In no.4 Woody got the spin-off from a great mob of ducks in the corn SW of our pond as he had a helluva shoot. Had his limit of 7 sprigs as mallards by 8:00 so sat in that blind for another hour before he vacated and let me in. I had moved to #5 in the meantime and had two teal. When I got into #4 at about 9:30 the flight was over. I picked off one cock sprig, very high, and added another teal. Jed came out of #6 with a redhead and a teal. Back at the clubhouse we found that no-one else had had much of a shoot. Yesterday afternoon Woody, Jed, as I set out at about 2:45 to find some pige but we failed to do so. They are gone from our property - no doubt about it. We then hunted a bit for pheasants along the south end of Babcock and jumped only one very fast wild hen that out-maneuvered Woody. Heard hikers in some field NW of us but never could see them. Kentrel count - 22 coming in, 25 going out.
