With the season winding down here in NJ and getting some great gunning opportunities with the weather I went in to work late the other morning and hit up a favorite south zone marsh before it closes tomorrow. I wasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't been able to scout much lately and just had a hunch the birds would be there. I put out a smaller spread of six LZ black ducks and four mallards and sat back to enjoy the pre dawn. I figured if I could scratch out a black duck the morning would be a win.
Well things went a little better than planned... 5 min after legal here came a pair of wigeon 10 yards feet down in the hole. Two shots later and they were in the bag. I barely had time to get set back up and here were a dozen more... boom, boom, boom and three were floating white belly up in the spread. 15 minutes later here are three gadwall, I picked one out and finished my limit with six shots by 7:15 am... definitely a morning for the memory banks.
