Have you seen the video of that day?

[aunt betty]

It was my idea to hide in front of the log. Shooting from behind it was a PITA. Steep banks that were slick.
Sometimes doing it backwards works better.

Look up "il north zone duck hunting opener" on YouTube.

I forget he hunts Canada.

[aunt betty]

The ones I hunt after Christmas are very nervous and have been shot at since September or so.
Its not as easy as some folks want to believe.

It wasn't like we were sitting in the middle of the river.

Overhang from tress kept us from getting busted from above, and the fallen trees behind us gave great contrast.

Don't move and you're golden...

Once (in the 1900's)
I jumped some ducks off a borrow pit. Sat down on the bank and waited, hoping they'd come back. Shot two when I jumped em.
So I waited in a blizzard in the snow wearing my green army camo. No cover at all. Was still and guess what?
Them ducks, about 300 mallards, came back and landed at my feet about ten yards away so I picked out a drake and shot, missed, and hit three hens (one shot) that I didn't even notice. Was so focused on that drake.

Ok, who can count and add?

Point of this story is be still. Camo is over rated.

[Rick]

AB, when I lived in Yankee Land, I had good luck jumping birds off favored water and killing some on their return, but even as a young gun, I quickly figured out that they weren't coming back if I shot when they jumped.

[Rick]

And to head this thread back on towards the track, even the coyote knows cover kills birds:

It was a blizzard. They had nowhere else to go.
The borrow pit was special in that it had extremely high and steep banks. In blizzards waterfowl goes there in huge numbers because it's sheltered.
If I had stayed I think I could have shot em again.
Hard to believe. Huh?

[aunt betty]

Woof woof

Cadee is a great dog, cracked me up how she wants to train so much and gets into that truck

[R. Chapman]

Lots of cool pics!

[Rick]

Mud hogging:








At this stage of our game, most "Spring training" revolves around conditioning. We'll do a little of this or that retrieving work to keep the wheels fairly tight, but most of the focus is just on seeing that the coyote goes into his mid Summer lay-off fit as can be, so he'll be ready for the September teal that come soon after. Feel blessed that he's an endorphin junky who'll push through all manner of misery largely just for the pleasure of doing so.

[Flightstopper]

You making him fetch rocks now or what?

[Redbeard]

Good stuff rick

[Rick]

Lord knows what he's after, sometimes it's a fish, sometimes one of these:


I'm just glad he likes to work himself and my lazy self can just tag along for the hike. Really glad it's gotten warm enough he'll spend most of a three or four mile loop swimming or pushing through driving water like that, as he can be pretty hard on the birds when not so occupied:

[The Duck Hammer]

That's badass

[Flightstopper]

Mrs. Flightstopper said he looks like he's earned a milkbone. Granted as you know her definition of 'earned' goes no farther than breathing in most cases. Cool pics Rick.

[Rick]

Might not want to tell her he's been off the Milkbones since the last of her box. Not quite cold turkey, I suppose, as the ones the bank gals give him go into that day's supper bowl.
