Kayaking
First day out I went into the south were the first wood duck duck box was positioned as soon as i got back onto the boat trail I jumped two wood ducks, two feet from me. Then went up one in the south boat trail, cut across across "to right" a small pond to the south then towards the west, back across the trail to the west and jumped my first birds. the first was a drake that i downed with one shot then another jumped up even closer to me but my 2nd shoot seemed ot miss. I paddled over picked up the bird then went toward the GH hill. nothing over here. Then went into Six inthe south Loafing pond then up to dalkie where i jumped a pair but counld shoot cause they were teboned to me and a shot whould have flipped me over. Nothing further into the shalllow end on the pond nor at the figure that went up north.
Then into 6, loafing, Dalkie,,, nothing in any of these ponds.
When I went into 7 in the south I immediately jumped another pair but couldnt shoot cause they tooo were Tboned to me, as i entered the pond i saw a hen that had watched me come in. she too was Tboned to me thought, i tried to turn but she took off with out a shout. Then i went into 5 nothing on the way out however i jumped 5 birds and the last was a drake Bammo, he was coming down with a borken wing, my last shot didnt appear to hit him. Then he skimmed across the pond out of sight, i paddle quickly to get arount the coner and found him in a clump to toolites dead. Interesting in that he seems very alive but quickly dided whtne out otsight. Two in the hand now!
I paddled to the cross section, the first area i went into i looked had to the west then glance to the the east and saw a drake 15o yards away, he was looking right at me, slowly i back out of his line of sight. When i got to the area i thought was paralle to him i tried cutting through a small toolie break, then saw him aobu t 30 yards to the side. I was trying to figure out how to turn the boat to shoot when another appear 10 feet infornt of me. bammo number 3 wass downed and I was done with my first hunt from the boat for the season.
3 birds and 5 shots.
