It was a beautiful day in Kansas yesterday; sun shining, 50 degrees and winds out of the southwest. I skipped out of work after lunch and headed for Kyle Marsh off Perry Lake. Sat up in the brush on the east side of the marsh.

The setup:

The Robber:

Got set up and then laid down for a nap until the sun started going down. 1/2 before sundown the geese starting coming in, but the ducks didn't come in until right at sundown. The only duck to work the decoys was a hen mallard: didn't want to shoot a hen, wanted her to land and call other ducks in. No such luck.

We had a gorgeous sunset, wish I could shoot pictures like Hitch. Had quite a few teal and shovelers still hanging around, not as many mallards as we usually have this time of year. Didn't fire my gun but it was a pretty good afternoon.
 
Rocky I heard that Perry looked poor this year due to high water on the moist soil but it looks worse than was relayed to me. Looks like you had a nice relaxing afternoon even if the Robber did not get blooded in the sunflower state.
 
Rocky,

Don't feel bad. The Robber is used to Michigan, hahahahaha!!! A relaxing afternoon means an early morning duck hunt, right?

Good luck:)
