GF got her first pintail n spoony with 3 teal. First 15 min was clear n birds were all around til the fog rolled n for just a lil over an hour. Once it cleared out it was on. Happy camper Cali made a long retrieve on Wendy's pintail, 1 bee bee lung shot. This is the upper slough above Jack's, freakn horrible
Nice work. Looks like the GF had a great time. My wife went hunting with me once while she was still the GF. Brushed up against some nettles before I could warn here. That was just about 37 years ago, she's never been since
Slough looks dry? Hear from a local in the area that over pumping around the refuge has caused subsidence around the refuge. But the wetlands at Mendota have prevented subsidence at Mendota. Problem is that areas around Mendota are now lower than Mendota and it’s getting increasingly harder to flood Mendota. Nice pics, good for you on getting her out!
On a north wind the Hyacin blows down the slough and jams up against the bridge. Big sections are breaking off and making there way into the refuge area. If they don't get this **** out quick it will change the entire biological structure. No one will be able to fish or run boats.
