Today was the last day of Water Fowl hunting and we took full advantage. It was FrEeZiNg (well, below freezing actually) and it showed! We had ice on our brows and lashes!
We had a good time regardless of coming back to the truck empty handed. We always enjoy spending time together in the outdoors! Besides, this was our first year in this area of hunting and although it was pretty discouraging at times, we learned a whole lot. Next year we'll be ready and we're going to bring it!
After walking around for a little while without much luck (we got a couple shots off but I was too excited and forgot to aim so they all missed...!),
we decided to bunker down in an area where we had seen some ducks flying by. While we sat and froze our buns off patiently waited for some action, we got to enjoy a "Discovery Channel" worthy encounter! We had a hawk fly in and feast on a frozen carcass (sorry, that's not the most pleasant word, but that's what it was, and they don't sugar coat things on the Discovery Channel!).
Other than the Hawk and a few dozen tweety birds, there was nothing. We could hear shots being fired in the distance but they weren't spooking anything our way. A bit discouraging...but I wanted a picture of us together anyway and as you can see, the smile doesn't reach my eyes and Marcel didn't really bother to even pretend to smile! :)
Until next year Quack Quacks!!
