Hunted three different places in Venice

Mind if I ask how far south you went? I have been hearing the feed on the Refuge South of Raphael is almost non-existent. I was planning to hunt there Wed/Thursday but after what I saw closer to Venice I don’t think it is worth it.

We hunted around Venice proper Saturday am but the birds were so concentrated we had to join up groups. Hunted 8 people out of 2 mudboats bow to bow. We had really good cover but still had multiple flocks of Gray’s flair off right at the last second. I think that was the first and last time I hunt out of a 36’ plus blind down there. We ended up killing a typical Venice mixed bag of 38 but pulled the plug on hunting Sunday because the few birds we were sitting on got hammered all morning and afternoon by other groups.
