I took my boy out Friday for an afternoon field hunt on super over-pressured public fields by BP Refinery at Cherry Point. He nailed this amazing Pin tail Drake an hour after we got set up. He even called this duck in all by himself- Not bad for a kid who has only been on a handful of hunts!

Boy insisted that I point out that he nailed it out of the sky! He also nailed a beautiful Widgeon that day, also flying...lol

Wow! You must be one proud dad! That is a very nice Pintail!

Awesome, took me about 15 years to get my first drake pin not in eclipse plumage!

My boy and I hunt public open access land, we are both amateurs- I am on my 2nd season Waterfowl hunting myself. We are basically self taught so far, and we are addicted like the rest of you. I was a skybusting foolish idiot last year and I am sure that everybody in north Whatcom county hated me but this year we got a bunch of decoys and calls. I practiced mostly the feeding chuckle and we nail them with the landing gear down now! Almost as big a thrill as whacking a deer when they fly over waaay up, you blast a hail and they turn back to ya, finish them with a feeding chuckle and some #2 to take them home!

He has a bright future. Mount that sucker and give it to him for his bday. Or save it and give it to him on graduation for a tearful moment.

Send it to birdman studios, its a little more expensive than most, but his work is incredible.

Very cool! I was never so proud as when my girl knocked a hen mallard down this year on her first duck hunt! Sweet!
