Day 1









Rags and I had the first hunt of our trip. All in all it was a big success but we had to work pretty hard to scratch out a limit. We got up over 3.5 hours before shooting time to try to get the spot we wanted. To our dismay both spots were already taken and the river got pretty crowded as the day progressed. We scratched out a few early and then took a quick break for some lunch. We ended up getting our spot for the afternoon and getting 10 mallards. A couple more were brown than we would like but Rags flew all the way from South Carolina to get here so we were not too picky on the first day of the trip. We will keep it honest from this point on.
Dex had several long retrieves and did a great job minus some lousty boat manners in the morning. He is sleeping soundly as I write
