re: One of my top 5 worst duck hunts

What choupique said – let me sumamrize your poor day

You got out in the great outdoors on an invited hunt
A little boat trouble – note none sunk and engine didn’t blow up = no boat trouble IMO
Hyacinths – welcome to LA
Wind shift – welcome to the outdoors, gotta adapt
Hyacinths – see above and wind shift and you lost a few dekes
No birds – that’s why they call it hunting not shooting
Alligator ate only bird you shot – dog didn’t get eaten sounds like your padnah made the right call

You got a little wet didn’t shoot much spent time outdoors w a padnah – overall not a great hunt but not a damn thing to whine about
