First Duck hunt with Shadow Magics Black Rose

Post by Wa Chukar Hunter » Mon Dec 21, 2015 6:26 am

Lucy and I went for a walk on my training grounds to see if we could get a few wood ducks that feed on nuts that fall from the overhanging pecan and oak trees - the ducks had a different idea and we continued walking to our tank dam where we saw 5 ringnecks feeding and upon topping the tank dam they took to flight and crossed about 25-35 yds out and I fired three times visibly rocking/hitting the lead drake - he continued flying but losing altitude as he headed to our second tank - I figured we would have a good retrieve on a wounded duck or have a re-flush and was surprised to see the drake ringbill floating dead as a hammer on the water.

I sent Lucy on a short 20 yd retrieve and her first ever wild duck retrieve was completed effortlessly and with enthusiasm.
