Waterfowl, let’s see them!

[Keep on]

Did a goose hunt in the am, then ran up to the river for an afternoon duck hunt. Didn't light the world on fire with either hunt.
I did however get my first lesser canada and the 1st pintail I've shot in probably 5 or 6 years.
Another great day in the treasure state. Early field hunt tomorrow, then off to the airport for a 2pm flight.

I don't know what the hell I would do with 749 ducks.

Bubba from Forest Gump comes to mind.

It's been real slow close to home last couple of weeks, so made a long drive to the big lake down south and had a good trip. A boat sneak got the first pintail drake of the year, and a couple of teal died in the crossfire. Then was holding out for mallards, but screwed up my one chance after an hour, so filled out limit with teal and a widgeon. Might end up at this spot for most of the rest of the season.

Quick little hunt this morning

Managed one fat mallard drake this evening. Better than the skunk!

Was hoping for a pintail. Saw a bunch but none of them wanted to play and I am terrible at pass shooting. But the teal were very willing. Picked up six with 90 mins of light left and held out for a pintail until the last five minutes and took the consolation prize to finish out a tasty limit of greenwings.

This is pretty much what I wanted for Christmas.

not much to show for a trip out. But a few in the bag will do. I did make a friend out there today.

I found the little guy like this and drug him up on the yak for a photo op. About 3.5 foot.

I would have poked him for a good 45 min to confirm death. I was picturing a snag with the fishing pole and then emptying that benelli.

 

[F250]

That would be a good gator.

Always fun going with the kids especially when they shoot well.

He is, he does not even want me to look at or touch him in the blind, hilarious.
Here is our day after Christmas hunt, a great day. 40 mph wind is awesome hunting ducks.
