Comments

I have hardly gotten out duck hunting this season on account of other commitments; I was determined to get a few hours in this morning. Even though the local reports of low duck numbers were numerous, I still had to get out and experience the marsh once again.
Well, the reports were true; the ducks were either very scarce or very educated. I did see a few mallards and some pintails, but not many of either. A couple of marginal shots did present themselves, but common sense on my part prevailed today.

Observations:

The duck numbers look relatively low. There are birds out in the refuge portion of the river, but there are not huge numbers.
