Seems they forgot that they too were beginners at one time, but now they are "EXPERTS to the Ninth Power".

Nice looking birds, hope all had a wonderful time.

I got a picture of two nice, er... drakes.. right up in your area 2 weeks ago. I thought about going back for them after the opener but decided I didn't want to fight the circus.

Post by: Fishnclifff on October 22, 2010, 11:15:18 AM: I got one of those one morning after the pheasant season was over.

It flew off the dike at smith farms, over the bay and joined 2 mallrds comin in off the water. I just happen to turn around after pouring coffee and seen "3" ducks coming in and knocked 2 of them down. It was a headon shot, it was the first to get hit. I was shocked when I picked it up.

Showed it to the gamie, she said, oops, hope it tastes good.
