Two duck hunts in one day

Chris had Friday off work since he got called in last Saturday

We went out duck hunting.. twice

First hunt was at the refuge early in the morning

Little miss Kennedy ready to go sipping on hot chocolate and eating flaming hot cheetos.. she loves those!

We also saw a bunch of pheasants running along the side of the canal

No ducks though

Chris just LOVES his picture taken

I told him to smile.. I guess I should have been more specific...he did smile ha!

I love my fuzzy ear flap hat!!
I initially bought it as a joke.. but dang I love it

My ears and cheeks stay so warm out in the boat

Me and pooker as Chris drives us around

No worries she only had on thermals, and jeans, and a shirt, and sweatshirt, and coat, and life jacket, and beanie, and hoodie and another coat on top of that

We went back out Friday afternoon to Perry

Kennedy fell asleep in the truck before we even made it to the dirt road

She was out cold

So we got her out of the truck, put her life jacket on and she didnt even wake up

Chris and I made her a bed in the bottom of the boat with coats to lay on and then covered her up in two more coats and made pillows from hats and gloves

She slept the ENTIRE HUNT

We had the boat beached with the blind up and were shooting from the boat

Didnt even phase her

I got a shot at a group of swans

Wasnt able to drop one :(

This guy flew in and landed in the decoys quite a ways away

I told Chris I was going to try and shoot him

He didnt think I could get him since he was a ways out there

But here he is! My first duck of the season

It was kind of funny to get back into where we were there were a lot of sharp turns and Chris's boat is kind of long

There were some spots we had to get out and kind of push it through the curves

One point he got out to pull the front end through

I went back and took over the motor

I think it kinda surprised him :)

We got us unstuck and I drove us out

He didnt quite know what to think about me driving the boat.. and neither did the boat full of guys I passed ha!

My dad taught me well
