Was on the Nextel earlier in the week talking to "the man" about all the outlaws in the marsh in regards to early shooting, lead hulls, trash & skybusting.
Well, it didn't take long & numerous citations were handed out this morning both in the open marsh & the canned hunt.
We decided to launch this morning @ 0430 to beat the rush @ the ramp.
After running off a few boats I felt were getting a little to close, an airboat decided to attempt to set up on us (5) five minutes prior to legal shooting.
After picking up their dekes & palm fronds that they had left out overnight, they moved about a 1/4 mile to the south & immediately started skybusting whistlers in the stratoshere!!!:angry3:
About 0830, we decided to make the rounds & p/u the ducks on the water.
One of our whistlers sailed over to were the outlaws blind that they had their dekes stashed.
Strewn throughout the blind was lead shell casings, empty boxes of shells & a (12) twelve pack of empty Mountain Dew cans.
Boy was I ****ed!!!
About 0900, "the man" rolls up on us & I point them in the direction of the outlaws to the south.
At 0945, "the man" rolls back up on us grinning from "ear to ear".
The outlaws were cited for: unplugged guns, no management stamps & possesion of (2) two yellow legs they thought were teal.:help:
Prior to leaving, we picked up their empty hulls, trash & Dew cans from their old blind.
In the end, it turned out to be the best hunt so far of the season.
BTW, GWT, BBWD, FWTD, Ringers & a beautiful drake widgeon that the same freakin gator ate in the same lateral ditch!!!
Bluebills & arse swabs in the morning:duckie:
