My kids first duck, Is gonna cost me.
« on: September 24, 2007, 03:42:16 PM »
Darn nice way to start off your first hunting season. He missed him at 20 and smoked him at 40. I seen the woody's jump and he missed them at 20 yards and then a pair of mallards jumped up after the shot  and headed out the same way the woody's did and i was watching the mallards now at 20 yards  and my son shoots again and says I got one. Both mallards are still in the air so  I look my left and at 40 yards a i see what i consider a pretty nice trophy falling to the ground. The second picture is of day 2 with Johnsc6's son they had a ball.

Great photos. I think that bottom one is just as good as the top one. Meaning it might be also a good candidate for photo of the month material from my point of view.

Try Mike Casper in Walla Walla.  I know it's a long ways away to take it but he is well worth it in both price and quality.  Not to mention, there's a good chance he'd have it back before Christmas.  He doesn't sit on birds like most Taxidermists do while they mount the big stuff, in fact he does a lot of the birds for the other guys. 
hey, where's Professor Chaos? Anyone seen him?

Nice pics. Looks like a great day in the field.
Looks like a nice pay day for you too, T-Roy. I'm sure it feels good to watch your kids be so successful. Can't wait for that.
