Well long story short I have been fortunate enough to have met a very unique and special young women. Jolene is a college student, a college student union board member, Mrs. Southern California, and a hunter. I was lucky enough to be invite to hunt Barret with her and her dad on wednesday for the first time.
She took me clay shooting for the first time and used her guns, so i bought my own, and took me dove hunting for the first time. She is definitely something else.
Anyways, we got to Barret around 4 A.M. wednesday morning picked our blind and heard the duck hunting has been slow which we expected. so we load up and push off. We hunted blind 3 and set out ten or so decoys. We had a few close calls with ducks swimming closely into our decoys. The wind and rain was relentless from about 5:30- 9 A.M. we were getting slammed. At 9 Jolenes dad picked us up since he was set up non the there side of the bank. We rode around a couple coves and found some ruddies. (Im in the understanding that ruddier aren't "real ducks") The ruddies jumped and I knocked my first two ducks down in three shots. After that we found a mallard and I opt for jolene to shoot it so we got close it jumped and she shot and was just behind it but by that point it was out of her shooting lane and into mine so i knocked it down. A little while later we found a gadwal hiding in some bushes and he got nervous and jumped and I sent some more steel through him. Jolene knocked down a couple more ruddier and we called it a day. We finished with six ruddies a mallard and a gadwall.
Im hooked!!!! Spending time with Jolene and her dad are memories I will never forget.
Thank you for the opportunity & Fine Firearms for setting me up with some great shotgun shells
