I ran out of shells :rofl:

Here's the story but give me a little time to load pics got a bunch:fine:

It's low over cast day and spittin snow temp about 28/29 and thin ice on the edge about 2 feet out.

Ok get out start setting up my 4 goose and 6 duck deks. Suddenly here comes a pair of geese but they look but don't really want to set down, but I'm sitting above the pond and they's low enough. I jump up and waste 3 shots :shoot::shoot::shoot: nothing. Picture kickin self in butt :banginghe

Then a single low enough but just lookin I jump up and smoke him but he sails into the sage behind me Chase is looking at the water and didn't see him go down so I call him back and get him pointed in the right direction, he finds it then I realalize I left the camera in the blind another kick:smash:

Feelin better then in comes a flock of spoonies , 2 shots and I finally dump a hen.

things are quiet but a bunch of swans come by for a few shots with the Kodak.:clap:

Then a lone mallard drake and whiff again, time to talk to self " Mike just calm down get the gun in your shoulder not out on your arm and take your time."

A flock of green wings buzz the deks take my time on the last one thru and dump it but not dead. Chase works his butt off tryin to swim it down but can't catch up and it dive and I never saw it come up. He hunts hard but no luck so I go around to help finally kicking it up. It can fly but just barely a shot but nope goes all the way to the other end of the pond. Back around we go 2 more trys and I still ain't got the bird :banginghe

Now I'm down to only 2 shells left and out of the blind on the far side of the pond when here comes more geese. Try to duck and cover cause they want to come in but they spot us and flare. Now I don't know where that teal went so head back around the pond to our blind.
