Well, we hit the SZ this morning.... Took the trip down yesterday evening for scouting.. Located another HORNETS NEST of woodies... Man is there a bunch of them. We ran up a flock of atleast 100+... Lots of smaller groups all over the place....
Set up on a outside bend where we had maximum visibility both directions.. The birds were up and moving real early this morning with the clear skies over-head.. My little girl was having a hard time with all the activity in the early mins,, but we opted to hold-out till good light for some good shots.. Here she is watching the early birds workin around us
Then after we took our first bird,, when she sat back down I noticed blood on her face and had to get a pic...She looks so tough with blood
Here was me with a good lookin drake
After we had our woodie limit,, I started taking pics of birds that were landing with us.. I had a easier time shooting the gun at them.. These would have died....Its a PWB camera,, so not the best pics,, but you get the point...
And he was the victory shots on the way back to the ramp.. We took only drakes and ended with 4... Saw a handfull of mallards while scouting,, but none flew where we set-up this morning....I'll give it a thumbs up trip,, except fer the gas bill

I swear it was a hen woodie when it came flyin down the river,, but by the time my little girl brought it to us,, it changed into some kinda merganser
