Well Sunday was it... The end of another waterfowl season. It was a poor season. The birds were just not there. But between Ritt have cancer treatments and me and my stomach issues... It turned out pretty darn good. We ended on a high note...
Sunday morning 5:55 am arrived at Ritts House hooked up the Jet boat and headed for Oregon!
Boat in the water and up river, dekes setup and ready to hunt with 20 minutes to spare!... About 5 minutes after shooting hours... the dekes got buzzed by teal.. a bunch of them... Ritt was able to get one shot off... Bill and I nothing...
About an hour later we had the thrill of the season. The Mallards got up off the field across the river... WOW... there must have been a 100 of them...AND... they started working the dekes... They made a couple of passes and then cupped their wings for a long glide into the dekes. We were about 30 secs from jumping up when down river somebody leave off a couple of quick shotgun blasts. The ducks flared and were gone. Bummer....
We had set up the golden eye dekes and they responsed very well... We ended the year with 8 golden eyes 6 drakes and 2 hens) in the boat. We heated up them barrels... It was great fun.
Bill, Amber, Ritt, Joanne, Denise and I are all going to get together to try out an Golden Eye reciepe... If it not eatable... We will have PIZZA! Will let you all know and post reciepe if it turns out!
