I know some of our members here are avid waterfowl hunters, as I am. Wildfowler comes to mind..., hmm wonder why?
We had a winter storm blow through Friday into yesterday and it yielded an epic duck hunt.
We started in a big water blind on the Chester River and six of us killed a limits of blue bills (aka scaup, black heads) and a couple of mallards, as well as a few buffle heads. Then four of us moved to a small impoundment which had been planted in corn and then flooded and killed about a dozen of so mallards.
A couple of us moved back to the big water blind hoping for some red heads and canvasbacks, but I needed to head home before any flew into the dekes. Great duck hunt!
Of course, if there are no photos it didn't happen. So I'll post a couple as soon as I get them up on imgur.
Divers (fwiw, that shot is looking to the Chester River, which is more than a mile wide there. I'm in a lee but the wind was howling and the snow was blowing:
