2013 Cape Hatteras Duck Hunt

I tried out the new iPhone panoramic option with little success.

Last week marked my 4th year duck hunting with a group of friends from the College of Charleston. Normally we have all met in Edenton, NC (home of Albemarle, Carolina Classic, Regulator and Calyber boats) to hunt the Albemarle Sound for a few days. This year however we decided to make our way down the Outer Banks and hunt with Capt. Ken Dempsey out of Cape Hatteras, NC. The weather on the first day was a little sporty with winds blowing 35mph and the second day was a blue bird sky so hunting conditions were certainly not ideal, but we still had a blast, shot a few ducks, and look forward to heading back up next year.
