A group of friends went out on Christmas Eve on a perfect setup for an absolutely awesome morning. All the credit goes to one buddy who did all the scouting and knew there was one shot at this setup, so he called the crew. Ironically, he also has a red lab, so I didn't need to bring Cooper. One of the guys happened to be a lights out duck caller too. I just needed to show up with my thermos of coffee and shoot. The ease and simplicity felt foreign and almost uncomfortable.
As promised, the ducks began dropping in right after first light. We had some decoys out and sets of 5-15 ducks dropped in during the first 1.5 hours. We saw black ducks and mallards and with 5 guys on the hunt, not many got away.
