1st Duck Hunt of 2010
« on: December 18, 2010, 04:47:50 PM »
Just thought I'd share some photo's of the result of our first duck hunt this year.  We are now done with Big game hunting and can turn our attention to waterfowl.  Turned out to be a pretty Green day (and very windy).  My lab is 11 yrs old and nearly 100% deaf.  The old girl reminded me today that it's not all about youth and power out there necessarily.  Experience and knowledge worked for finding 3 difficult birds that went down in the thick tulies.  She does know her trade very well.  This was a westside hunt.

Nuttin' "more gooder" than havin' a good dog along in the field.  Looks like she not only done ya proud, but hams it up for the camera too.  I hope she got some extra puppy cookies at the end of the day.  Good lookin' brood of Mallards there too.  Congrats

Yes she gets a extra treat after each hunt, and she expects it.  The treat is a cheese burger from my local burger king.  She's been getting them after hunts since she was a pup.

LOL  I hear ya... my dad's dog always went ape when she saw a DQ and there was NO passing by without HER getting her ice cream.  A lot of laughs circled 'round that dog's antics. 

Ya know?  I think she could put away two cheese burgers.   :chuckle:

Well done. 99 % of the birds i've seen this year wont give the dekes a second look  and are flying waaay high. managed to pull  a few but nothing like that.  congrats!

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.
