At the Buzzer

The buzzer sounded, marking the end of the duck hunt here in Utah. However, we ended on a good note, 12 ducks between us for the day!

Jump shooting was rough, ducks were alert                         No waders today, Woodie did all the work

With most of the wetlands locked up from the January freeze, we opted for some jump shooting on the river. Finding open water on the river proved difficult at times, but persistence paid off as we had a fun shoot.

Now that our waders have been put up for the year, it's time to start planning all the hunts that come before next year's waterfowl season, good times!
