Was out near Stoddard today. Saw a TON of ducks, but they are all WAY high Like (300-400 ft) and seem to be going from the refuge south of Brownsville up to the refuge by goose island. Had 4 that decoyed somewhat but flared when my wonderful fellow duck hunters 
across the way sky busted them for me. I really miss the days when people with ethics 
hunted far away from you, and if they were close, they didn’t shoot at the ducks you had working your dekes/call just because they flew near them.
I am really gonna miss these 
and this crapola when I move up to Duluth. 
No quackin birds today but at least I got my pup “Bill” out and shot a few times at blackbirds to see he isn’t gun shy.
