1st duck for my son
« on: October 27, 2013, 04:57:36 PM »
Tristan passed hu ter ed class in June, he is 10.
Not much to this one. Went to Shaw Island for deer huntin. Brought the scatter guns cuz we knew there were sometimes waterfowl.
We had to pass on honkers, mid season closure  :bash:
Decided to jump shoot the pond before deer huntin.
Approx 8 widgeon jump up and fly away from us, but then circle back straight over my son. He shot once and droppedthis beautiful drake.
Gonna send this off to get mounted.

Beautiful Bird. Send it to Willow Creek Taxidermy. I did with my son's first duck (also a Widgeon) You won't be sorry.
