Had a fantastic hunt yesterday in my aquapod layout boat at a coastal marsh. Birds were swarming my spread, landing at point blank range. Laying down in a sneak boat, having birds flying ten feet over your head, while you're sipping coffee... man, that is the best kind of duck hunting in my opinion. My Husky 103A is a great shooter, and these are the first birds I've taken with it so far. I think I'll try a 16 next time.

That's some great duck hunting. Hoping for similar on Wednesday, but it won't be that warm.

My first ever pheasant water retrieve and an odd point. My 10 year old Drat was a rock star on our opener and we were done by 8am.

On the North shore of Superior with my host chasing ruffs. Apparently Mocha disapproved of his choice of gauge and action:  Here he is chasing and pointing a tweety bird by the road, as the grouse have been nowhere to be found:

Hey all, took off the afternoon today, temps were great after being in the deep freeze for the last two weeks. Winds were supposed to be low (right this is North Dakota, the winds were in that 18mph range). Birds were spooky (thanks wind!). Did down one that Addie tracked for some time and did a nice retrieve to hand. Her points are getting more staunch every time she gets out. She's going to rival the old girl (Duchess). She's a real natural. Anyway, I used my 12b Joseph Harkom  And.......Addie  Best, Greg
