My Uncle Kelly and I got down the marsh just before all the snow showed up and did some damage despite the fact that we had absolutely no wind. Kelly killed a goose the afternoon before I got there and the next morning we limited out on geese and killed 3 gadwall, 3 mallards, and another drake pintail. None of the ducks decoyed just right because our spread looked pretty fishy after some junks of skim ice tangled up a bunch of our decoys and the tide took a couple away. Also Kelly stoned a goose at about 50 yards right above us that landed directly on my new robo d and smashed it. We got em to come in and take a good look though which ended up being good enough. For the most part we shot straight and Dex did a great job on a couple tough retrieves. We had one mallard sail on us and land on the other sided of the river and swim up in the marsh. Towards the end of the day we took Dex over to the other side to let him hunt the shore line even though we did not think there was much of a chance of finding the bird, but Dex found it within a couple minutes. All in all a good day in what is turning out to be a pretty solid season down at The Marsh.
I stopped at the Rayzway on my way home and one of the ladies behind the counter asked me if I had any ducks I could share with her. I quickly offered one of the 4 geese I had in the truck, and she looked at me like I had just offered her a fresh dog turd and exclaimed "I DONT WANT NO GOOSE!!!" :)
