Afternoon wood ducks

I got an invite from my buddy James to bring Cade out for an afternoon wood duck hunt in the flooded corn and I couldn't pass it up! I picked Cade up from school and we made our way out to the sink. It was clear and 70 degrees but as we approached the corn a bunch of birds came out of the corn and headed back towards the creek. Within minutes we were in the blind and ready to shoot. Slowly but surely they woodies started coming back and after a few missed opportunities Cade got it together and started putting the smack down. He had 6 birds on his strap and as hours drew to a close he whiffed on a single drake that would have gotten him his limit. He had a great time and I can't thank James enough for the opportunity.
