September 27, 2009 - One Duck in the Flock!

Made it out to the lake for the last day of Early Teal Season. Teal were moving in the early morning but only one came within range and buzzed the decoys at first light.

Watched others skirting the trees along the shore with one flock heading to a group of hunters. From the shots, it sounded like they connected.

Well past light, a flock of five Teal came out of nowhere, eyed the decoys, and then cupped their wings and came into the set in line with the Roboduck. Managed to bag one - a Green Winged Teal!

Had several more chances but was too slow, not accurate, moon and stars were not aligned. Bottom-line: Shoot one duck in the flock....
