Potholes weekend
« on: January 24, 2016, 08:32:35 PM »
Headed over to potholes this weekend for a Friday afternoon hunt, Saturday and Sunday morning hunt with my dad. Found some open water and had an incredible time. Lots of divers but mostly passed on those waiting on mallards. Ended up shooting my first redhead (2 redheads not pictured), doubled on geese, a banded mallard, and my first banded pintail. A hunt with my dad that will always hold a special place in my heart.

Looks like a great hunt!  Congrats on the banded birds.  A little bit of luck on the trip.

Love the pic with your dog and the banded pinny!  If you guys mount that bird, that pic would look great next to it.  Great memories with your dad  :tup:

Thanks! And the mallard was banded in August 2015 grant country near George. And the pintail was banded in August 2008 in Ohio.
