Title: No Kill... No Problem
Post by: maustypsu on December 24, 2012, 01:07:17 PM
I was wading in some flooded timber duck hunting on Friday evening.  About 75 yards away with the setting sun as the background I had 15-20 birds fly up to roost over a 20 minute period.  I watched them sort out who got which branch as the orange sky turned dark. 

I didn't see a single duck that evening but that was still a great hunt!  I wish I would have had a camera or video recorder.  The pics didn't show up well on the iPhone.

I call those my spiritual moments. That one will be in your memory a long time. Sounds cool. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

Those moments make it worth going don't they?
I had a similar moment of spectacle watching a bunch of Merriams fly up at sundown on the final day of the hunt.
They flew up to a tree right in front of me.

It was almost magical to see.  What a way to end a hunting trip. :icon_thumright:
