Way to go!  I have yet to try with the bow but I still loving chasing those dang things.  Speaking of redheads, my second duck of this season was a banded redhead drake down here in the salt...only my second band since 1986!  Keep at it Sam and they wont' stand a chance...well except the teal, they always stand a chance!!!!

That's awesome man!
I was pretty tempted to try goose this year but I didn't make it happen.

Ducks are even a smaller target.
I'm IMPRESSED!

I did not shoot him out of the air , had flu-flu arrows at the ready but with no wind they would just dive bomb in. Set out about a dozen decoys and they would swim over to check them out and my spot had me hidden well. I shot at 3 teal with close misses and got the Redhead , first shot broke his wing and he made the cattails so I got the little johnboat and found him and gave a finishing shot.The cabin is awesome and not far from a great little duck hole , my in-laws and brother-in-law and his buddy built it from the ground up. I could not get any takers for the morning but I will be hunting again. Got some pretty good video and will be putting it on my youtube channel as I get to it. Just put Broadheads on a bunch of old wood arrows for in the morn so about to head back to the cabin for another adventure...

Good luck man!

Granted shooting out of the air would be a crowning jewel, but the fact you got it with a bow is IMO way more sporting than with a gun whether on water or not.

Awesome hunt Sam! Hey is that riser a Hoyt TD-3? I have one that I did an ILF conversion on. My limbs are 40# @ 28". What limbs did you get?

The riser is a Hoyt TD3-H20 , I have had it for well over 20 years the original limbs were 75@28. Got the ILF plates and my buddy Tom sand blasted and power coated the riser and fit the plates on for me. Got a set of Trad Tech BlackMax shorts that make it 48@30 and 61in. Really like the ILF rigs...

The ducks are slow this morn , shot at a teal and 2 scalp with nothing to show for it. Had a 8pt buck walk up to about 5yds but I’m out of buck tags already. Got good video of the missed ducks and the buck though...
