Welcome to the site there Jim  :hello:

We brought home 3 ringnecks, but Pete did pretty good today out there while I was sitting in the blind with Tim today.
I left about 11 and we did not have one single shot opportunity this morning, it was foggy all morning and could not see crap......

I know that's how it's gone this season, we sure missed out on Sat. with the 4 flocks that came over & only 2 of them shootable. Guess we had Goose Fever on them!!!  :bash: Wish I could have joined you today but there will be other days B-4 the end of the season. Call in sick & we can hunt during the week!!!! :chuckle:

 :bash:  i know i know..it didn't happen if there aren't pics. 

why is it when you have a good day of shooting it's always when you're by yourself and no one to verify it..l   :IBCOOL:  ..i guess these will speak for themselves.

HAve had ducks taken by eagles also... but 3 years ago sitting in my blind I had some maalrds working the dekes and out of nowhere a blad eagle dropped right in and hit the greenhead.... didn't grab it though and it dropped in the tall grass by the blind.  It circled and left... I jumped out and went looking for it... glad I brought the gun.. it jumped when I was about 5 feet away..... Maybe the Blad Eagle was trying to pay me back for others it had taken?  LOL

There is a Baldie at Silver Lake in Pierce County that gets birds quite often.  It happened to me on 2 different days around christmas.  they were the first and only birds that I shot each day. :chuckle:     
If I make it out there again this year I am going to try and take a camera. :tup:

Eagle tastes just like spotted owl in case anyone's wondering.

Well I never thought it would happen to us, but it did!!! We had just jumped 50 or some odd GW Teal, when the dust settled 5 dropped, just as we were about to wade out to get them a Baldy swooped down & picked one up & flew off  :bash:

It could have been worse as I popped a mallard next to the bank & one was sitting in a tree not 30 yds, that drake prolly spotted it on his slow dive to the drink & would not even come up for air. Long story short we didn't find that bird.

Was a good day on the river with no company & bagged 4 GW Teal & one mallard hen between the two of us.  :IBCOOL:
