We took some veterans out on a duck hunt last evening and this morning near Fergus Falls,MN. Last night was slow, but we weren’t expecting much out of that hunt other than getting out and being outdoors. This morning, we had a fun shoot with a 6 person limit (4 veterans and 2 guides) of 18 wood ducks and a bonus mallard. The shooting was fast and furious for the first hour, and enough kept coming in to keep us busy until 9 am.
