... I know where you should go. 
I went hunting Monday with my son and FetchExpress. We ended up with only a few birds in the bag, but it wasn't for a lack of birds infront of us. We weren't seeing much at our first spot, so we moved the operation to another locale. Once there, within a few moments of setting up, we had a decent drake pinner in the dekes. He was promptly shot and soon after retrieved masterfully by KC's dog. Shortly thereafter, another drake pintail goes down, thus ending our ability to shot anything remotely resembling a sprig. We had flight after flight of birds over our spread in the hours that followed. Almost every single bird during that time was a pintail! :x We had maybe two hen mallards and the occassional one or two quick moving teal cross our spread (one of which I managed to bag), but that was it! I had never seen anything like it, with such one-sided species respresentation. But it was neat just seeing the birds splash down into the decoys. It gave my son a good chance to see the birds up close and how they behaved. All in all it was a great day.
BTW, in case it was unclear above, one of the pinners was taken by FetchExpress and one by myself. Someone had to take the picture... :wink:
