I also shot ducks in the wind like that. A friend and I were hunting an open marsh impoundment in Md in a NorEaster. 70-80 miles an hour. No the ducks didn't toll as they were goingh with the wind. Couldn't have hit a tolling duck except by accident or unless he was coming straight in. Rain was comng sideways when i caught the ol ducky zooming along. DArn bull pintail came by at mach 2 and darned if i didn't whack the poor thing dead as a cucumber. he only fell about 100 yds away...and he wasn't 10 ft off the ground to begin with. we ended up with quite a few ducks and a pair of geese. and a boat with six inches of rain in it. We had to pull it up on a muskrat lodge so we could empty the water out.Glad you made it out of the area ok and that all was as much fun as it sounds. And they say elk hunters are crazy!!?? They ain't never seen a dedicated duck hunter!
