Simply beautiful. I was wondering how you take the waterfowl pictures. Do you use a blind? Public land  private,refuge. How close are you usually?

I treat it just like hunting them, except instead of the Browning Gold, I use a Canon.  Most of the time I try to shoot with my smaller lens as its a lot faster to swing and to focus and easier to conceal, however with the blue skies and their spooky attitude I have been shooting the bigger lens.  I did an impromptu camo job of it the other day and that has helped.   I use fewer dekes as I have camera stuff to carry and don't like to spend a lot of time with them.   I try to let some fly in and have "natural" dekes before I start shooting.   Concealment is harder than hunting.   You need to be able to have clear view of them, without them having a clear view of you, and springing on them doesn't work real well.  I have yet to fine tune it all.   The other thing is dealing with lighting.   The way the light was harsh today, everything contrasts as black  against the bright sky.  When hunting, you don't care.

Thanks guys.  I got the kibosh put on todays adventure.  Daughter rolled her ankle last night and I spent it in the emergency room checking out how Obamacare was going to screw me.   I had big plans for big bucks today, and or ducks.   NOPE!

Hey bone, I'll tell you, as a bird guy, I can look at your pictures all day and then some.  I find myself always picking a bird calendar over a big game calendar, Being a Bird Taxi and all.  The SkyBuster doesn't have a bad idea there at all.  Have you ever thought of making a calendar directed only towards birds?  I bet a lot of people not only on this forum, but other hunters would buy the heck out of em.  Especially with the quality pictures you take.  I'll be the first in line to buy one!!!!!!  John
