It was a blast, but I will not return without a dog. On top of these birds we lost many to the otters. I'm convinced they're conditioned to come to the sound of gunfire. In the muck we had no chance to get to the birds before them.
We usually make one trip a year, but I'm seriously thinking about returning before the end of the season. It was just too fun. Just about all of our ducks came in without blowing on a call.
