Title: Waterfowl Report
Post by: Goldeneye on July 24, 2012, 07:40:10 PM: In case you guys didn't see the numbers. Looks like everything did good this spring except pintail. They are down 22 percent from estimates. Might be some more restrictions in your bag limit when it comes to Sprig this season...

Interesting video by Delta I didn't know and these ducks are not in as much danger as advertised. But like every duck nesting in Canada they will continue to have their struggles like all waterfowl.

LOL! :chuckle: I also agree it's early, but we all need to have something to look forward too...

LOL! No roids. Serious work this summer though learning to be a hunting dog. This will be her first full season of hunting She's just 1 year 4 months old. I love looking at her in the sun right now. She's got very strong looking back legs, her belly is up tight to the spine, and her shoulders are just ripped with muscle. Looks like an athlete right now. She's a lean 64 pounds...
