Well hello friends! I hope everyone is having a good weeks of far… I think I am still recovering from the weekend – bachelorette party for my future sister in law might have done me in! Needless to say, no hunting was done last weekend, but I was able to get a hunt in while duck season was on its little break last week. And, I have to tell you, marsh hen hunting is oh-so-fun. Once you get past the whole standing on the front of a (however slowly) moving boat while holding a loaded gun and trying to see those squirrelly marsh hens despite having the balance of a one-legged dog, you’re ally get the hang of things and it’s all fun from there! With a limit of 15 marsh hens per person, I knew we were in for a fun morning regardless of weather or lack of experience.
We got out to the area we were hunting around 7:45 am, and it was nonstop movement until around 10:45 (high tide was about 9 am that morning). After I got the hang of standing/shooting on the front of the boat, I mounted my GoPro on the shotgun, and ended up getting some really great shots (plus video!). Enjoy!
See that little raccoon swimming? Quite a surprise!
You displayed excellent “Hensmanship” in the words of your guide! Glad you had fun!
