It was cold. The rain was coming down in rapid sheets. We felt like we were inside a dishwasher…
Where were we really?
In a Uruguay rice field -duck hunting.
The conditions perfect, the company could not have been better. I was hunting with my longtime friend and fraternity brother, Crawford E McGinnis. Twenty-six Rosybill Pochards lay on the ground beside us in the duck hunting blind.
Crawford and I have shared duck blinds together on many a rainy day and both of us have shot our fair share of ducks in our lifetimes. But neither one of us had experienced what we were seeing this morning in Uruguay and the morning had just begun…
We still had hours of shooting left and the black Canvasback-like ducks continued to drop into our decoys like falling rocks.
If you’ve never hunted Rosybill Pochards, you simply cannot relate to what we are seeing this morning because no other birds assault the decoys the way the Rosybill does.
I looked over at Crawford and asked the rhetorical question-“are you having fun?” He looked at me and replied- “man it’s just another shitty day in paradise..”.
Not a second later after his reply had six more Uruguay ducks cupped their wings and dropped their legs as they gracefully made their final approach into our clever fake-our decoy spread.
