At age 13, Jackson Davis of Owatonna is a seasoned duck hunter.
Returning to the cattails last weekend for Minnesota's second-ever early teal season, he patiently waited for sunrise as ducks flew by and sometimes into a dozen of his decoys on a Freeborn County lake. A slight wind gave the spread some bounce.
"There were plenty of birds around,'' said Jeremiah Davis, Jackson's father. "We knew we were in for a good morning.''
