Single shot 8 birds, great morning, smoking gun!

Shot with BB in New Discovery today and ended up with 11 birds plus one "C" bird.

Very foggy morning, the spinner worked great early in the am as soon as it was turned on we had birds landing in the pond. It was turned on 9 minutes before shoot time, first i had a pare land 30 yards forn me then another 4 came in over the top of me no more than 20 feet over my head. They too landed in between Bill and I, then came another pair that landed off to the side of Bill,,, 8 birds on the pond before shoot time. When it was time I was trying to figuyre which group to shot first but bill beat me to the punch, his first shot was at the 4 on the pond but nothing stayed down. then he turned to the other parir off to the side of him. BB got the first drake. With that i was ready for the other pair next to me to get up but it took along time I could hear them struggling to quickly get out of the deep toolies, the drake got up an flew straight at me, bamo toast, i tried to shot at the hen but my gun didnt shoot.

2 Next Bird was a hen that landed on the pond, head shot.

4 Next was 2 pairs that came in, i couldnt wait for the first pair to pass over me as they were in my sweet spot. First double of the year.

5 Next was the "C"birds

6 3 teal flutter in, bammo first one in the air in over 2 years

7 A hen came in and landed very far away from us, she was quacking so i quacked back and she kept answering for the next 5 minutes. Quacking very fast then she flew over and Bammo toast. I should have let her get farther away.

8 Phill cripple was next, i was out trying to jump up some birds when 4 going into him in 3 in the North came over 30 yards. They we into he and guest and they barly got one... Two other flew away hit hard one ofwhich came over me. Flying down wind very fast " a right ot left shot" at 35 yards Bamo he too was toast.

Drake came in and dropped right on top of me, bill shot it started down but gained again,,, 3 secconds went by then he donwnd it with a final shot. This bird was a hybred bird, Greenhead but tons of white onthe chest and very dark coloring on the breast. Dog duck.

Bill had another pair come while i was out and he took the Drake.

The rest of the club didnt get much, i think out of 10 guns on 15 birds were shot and we go 11 of them.
