Title: Potholes weekend
Post by: Ice_man on January 24, 2016, 08:32:35 PM: Headed over to potholes this weekend for a Friday afternoon hunt, Saturday and Sunday morning hunt with my dad. Found some open water and had an incredible time. Lots of divers but mostly passed on those waiting on mallards. Ended up shooting my first redhead (2 redheads not pictured), doubled on geese, a banded mallard, and my first banded pintail. A hunt with my dad that will always hold a special place in my heart.

Post by: Ice_man on January 25, 2016, 10:29:08 PM: I would have got the pintail mounted if I didn't already have one at home and I'm already planning on getting the redhead from the trip mounted
