Went out with my dad today. He shot his first ever band and we shot our 2 limits by 10:35am..
Doesn't get much better than that for a day in the blind with my dad!

Well, ended up having an AWESOME WEEKEND! Not just a great day on Saturday.. ended up shooing my limits all 3 days with only 2 hens.. and my dad shot his limits saturday and monday with all drakes! doesn't get much better than that! Took 2 buddies out sunday and they got 6 and 4 so not quite our 3 man limits but still a great day!

2nd Pic:My partial Storm Wigeon, picture doesn't do it justice, that is going on the wall! Very big bird with great yellow/cream colored head! January 15th
3rd Pic:January 16th 2 man limits with my dad!

thanks! yeah its pretty special that he introduced it to me and we are still able to share what we love to do, the great outdoors and spend time with each other. And shoot the heck out of some ducks is a added bonus

I'm only 20 so hopefully my dad and I will be able to keep doing this for many years to come!

Great job, you made me jealous! Love the canvasback and the widgeon too. I gotta get out more.

Well thank you I appreciate it! It's been one heck of a good year... my best so far! I hope it continues for me the last two weekends.. I'll be out all 4 days!

Congratulations on some great hunts, especially with your dad. That would have been an expensive hunt for me, you got some birds in there that I would definitely taxidermy - I am officially jealous.

Love them divers.
