Duck Hunt Gone All Right

Last Thursday my dad went down to Murray to hunt with my brother. It was super cold and from the last couple of weeks when the temperature had gotten down below zero, and snowed. Anyways they went hunting on Kentucky Lake were rarely does any of it freeze over. The water was a lot lower than usual and so in the shallows the lake had frozen over. Kentucky Lake is really not all that deep like many think, except in the barge channel it is about 80 feet deep. The lake was about half frozen over and was thick enough to walk on. They saw a ton of ducks and geese and ended up killing 13 ducks and 1 goose. This day couldn't have gotten much better for them unless me and Earl was there and was able to kill a bigger limit. They limited out on ducks and also got an extra bonus-a goose. The limits per person is everyone can kill 6 ducks, 2 Canadian geese, plus Mergansers, Speckled Bellies, and Snows. The ducks is our main quota and they reached it that day.
