duck hunts 8 and 9

we must be getting to the end of the season cause these ducks are way to smart and skiddish to by anything but northern ducks.  we have ditched the layout blinds to lower our profile and are now laying on the freezing ground covering up with cut cornstalks.  our success is marginal at best - seems like the ducks are just out of shooting range - with lows in the single digits its only a matter of time before they are gone for good.  hopefully one more good hunt!!!  on a side note - davis has been making some great retrieves but he still isnt sure about retrieving those big ol honkers...
