Got my ass out of bed for my last day of duck hunting. The weather was all wrong (see pictures) and so was the tide. Hit the water with 90 minutes before a low tide of 2.6’ft. Low tides can make it a smidge sketchy navigating the boat through the small channel to get to where I like to hunt. Even running a pump motor, I still smacked 3 different logs just under the waters surface. All good, the transom held. A prop motor might have suffered a dent or ding on a blade though. I will definitely need to figure out an alternative route next season on low tides when I switch out my pump motor to a prop. Honda 4 stroke 50hp coming in May, or so they say (see supply chain issues and Go Brandon). Enough yapping. Here’s the pictures. Killed 6, lost 2 birds to a seam of fast current that rafted my ducks out into the bay. I emptied my Benelli’s guts 3 times without feather or leg dropping on others - complete whiffs. Geese were abundant....Ducks, not so much. Waiting for Daffy Duck to fly by. And here’s the perfect weather for duck hunting ~ Sunny, clear, and little to no wind. A few that got doomed by believing my duck calling meant safety. Cool Drake with Jeri Curls...LOL Beave out...🦫

That pintail have a good sprig? Pretty decent. If it would have be a drake pin, I’d have taken better pictures of it. 🦫

Not a bad mixed bag. That has to be interesting hunting tides like that…definitely adds another element to the hunt. We skipped out this morning, had a couple inches of snow last night which turned the roads into a mess and didn’t want to risk towing the boat on ice pack. It’s been a slow season for us in NC, doesn’t seem we have ever gotten a good push of migrating birds.

Funniest non-drake sprig yet...

With the rising sea levels, all of that will be ten foot deeper next season.

Nice!!!! Daffy Duck to fly by🤣🤣🤣🤣 Boom Chakalacka mutha fugger.
All I did today was go to a couple of LGS.
Got to witness a 8 or 9 girl clearing handguns to show customers multiple times Safe handling. Clear em to and from. Carried herself like she has done it many times... Kudo,s to the kid for that I geuss.....🥴🥴🙄
Momma the FFL holder not their at all... Phatt fugg mid 20,s older sister in charge for the day I geuss. She has always been a dullard and dimwitted only reason she has a job is cause its family.
Let 8 or 9 yr kid sister show customers multiple handguns.... Rolling on her own. Can I show you a gun sir???
Bout 4 of us seeing this totally blown the fugg away as it was happening..
My earlier msg call was returned. Person said they are gonna go put the fear of god in the dumb fugg owners about this.... Aint gonna fugg em up license or business wise. Just pay em a official azz reaming visit Give them a bussiness morality lecture about having 8 or 9 yr olds handling firearms and showing them for sale to customers.
