I had purchased a junior duck hunt for Cade at the Colusa CWA dinner this year and Cade and his buddy Tanner were super excited! The hunt was donated by the Live Oak Gun Club and the boys got to see how the other half lives. We arrived Friday afternoon and toured the property then had a great dinner and spent the rest of the evening telling old stories and playing with the other junior hunters. We finally got them to bed and before long the alarm was buzzing! The boys were up and ready for breakfast and the long awaited blind draw. We got the number two draw and based on what we had seen the prior afternoon the boys chose blind 41. We made our way to the blind, set the decoys and awaited legal shooting time. As the sky lightened the air was void of ducks but it wasn't long before the specks were flying! It was crazy to watch the specks decoy into the little timber hole and the boys blast away! It took a few volleys to get the cob webs out of the barell but soon enough the boys started knocking down birds! They had a blast and ended the hunt with a few birds each and finished up with a giant lunch! Needless to say they were all smiles and had a great time!
On day two of the junior hunt we took Cade and his buddys Tanner, Nick, and Jeffrey out to my big wetland blind. The birds weren't overly cooperative but they had a blast banging away and ended up with a couple bird each. Again they had a blast and were all smiles as we headed home. Junior season number two is a wrap and the boys are already talking about next season!
