This is off the Skagit just a morning hunt. Took my daughter out on her first official hunt. She missed out fumbling with the safety so I couldn't wait any longer. Taken with my 99 year old dual stamped Ithaca Lefevre 12 gauge 34"side by side with #4biz.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180908/f80f0131706097e5b81e0e2991ab0139.jpg)

Way to go Special T! As a father (YoungFower's - the OP here), I know what it's like to get the kids out on their first hunt and watch them struggle. What's cool though, is when they start to get it and before long, are better at it than you. Keep it up! She will get it soon.

Congrats to you guys that were successful I however didnt make it out today because everyone i was supposed to hunt with bailed. Looking for any input on where to start or look for geese ive been scouting the last couple days and not turning anything up. been all over not seeing much.
-
She figured out how to work the safety today but hasn't hit anything so far. Morning isnt over yet tho!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180909/cce183fe3f369db12c53e0f4e340045a.jpg)

3 gun Thanksgiving day tradition.
-
Saturday shoot with my son :tup:
-
Made it out for a little morning shoot for a couple hours Saturday, hen was banded and hatched this year in Harrison, Idaho kind of weird migration to the west I thought.
-
Does he look like he wants to let go?
-
Potholes last week.
-
Good time this morning with a good friend. Quite foggy but plenty of birds, some coming in like they were radar guided. Dog always looking for more.
-
Where the heck are the ducks? Glad you guys are having some luck. My pond has some water now but not a quacker one yet. No weather up north yet or what?
-
Was out yesterday for the first hunt of my season. Ended up with a Mallard & Wigeon limit. Had Snows, specs, honks and cacklers all over us. I think they knew we couldn't shoot them because of the closure. This little guy hung out in the decoys for quite a while. Just looking around and feeding. Cacklers aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
This was my first waterfowl hunt since losing my lab (Bella) in July to intestinal cancer. I miss not having "my" pup out there with me. I do have another one out of a litter born just before Thanksgiving that will be coming home with me after the first of the year. Then the training begins. By next fall she'll be in the blind with me learning the game...
-
Nice work! Makes me want to get out there
-
After scrolling through all these pictures it makes me realize there’s quite a few guys better at pounding the waterfowl than i am! Good work everyone looks fun!

Ain't that a fact. We've had one sit in our pond during a mid week hunt for at least a half hour as we set up decoys around it. Nice hunt!
-
After two years of duck hunting finally had one of those days yesterday. Ducks were working to calls and decoying perfectly right down the open slot. My son home from college and a 4 man limit by 10am. :tup:
-
Got to do a little jump shooting with a buddy. Several more should have been in the bag but jumped while we were crossing a hotwire fence.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181209/8e310fa501b63be7e1f862538fcd4b61.jpg)

OK, I'm just gonna say what anyone else that sees this pic may be thinking. You have what looks to be a nice 2 man, 14 bird limit. I am assuming there were 2 hunters seeing how there is only one in the pic plus the photographer. Seeing that you have 6 hens in the photo, I would think it would be prudent to put a disclaimer on the post explaining that there were 3 or more hunters or that you are an outlaw and just really didn't care how many hens you shoot.
-
There were four hunters, you’re right I should have made that clear.

Some highlights of this season so far. It's just starting to get good.
Floods were too early this year, as migrators weren't in yet. That should continue to change this week!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181214/146ee0f7edb6adaab7315aa0aa75a9ae.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181214/e1f696d7e12af087f6f75a8ce1cf62b4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181214/0c9aebae597f5af989b94ab312d4c7b2.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181214/6ec95bfd2b830a365bd0137a9b375f5c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181214/a2cbf70e6876d88c4b22595c7ccede06.jpg)

Figure I'd add some. I brought my cousins from Louisiana out last week. My first fowl hunts of the year. They got their trophy birds and more importantly, we had a ton of fun. In just 4 short days we got "with friends" over 200 birds on the ground.
-
Great birds man!

Went out for my 2nd hunt of the season with a buddy. It was windy and wet but also productive. Strap got heavy for the walk out. There's mallard, pin and wigeon on the strap.
