I was awakened at 3 this morning by some vicious storms moving thru the area, all i could think was it was gonna be a wet one out there. Wasn't gonna stop me from making it to the blind.
I was supposed to meet 5 others there but I was doubting they would come. I made my way to my spot and like I'd thought, my other buddies weren't there. While I was putting my boat in the water, I'd let Remi out of the truck to use the bathroom. My lights were shining on a field in front of me and in between putting my gear in the boat and getting dressed I noticed something running in the beam of my lights. I figured it was Remi, not only was it Remi, but it was a massive buck. He'd jumped it out of the Marsh and was chasing it around.
After I finally managed to get him to get in the boat we went out and started setting decoys, with the wind and waves cooperating in the least way possible, I decided to just put out about 5 goose decoys and 3 duck decoys. They'd make their way to the shore then I'd just throw them out as far as I could again. I repeated this about 5 times or so throughout the morning.
Tons of birds were flying, but it was hard to convince anything to come into 8 decoys. We did manage to get a goose.
So it was a rather interesting morning after all said and done. Remi was out like a light as soon as we got home. That buck wore his little ass out!
