Hey all, well today was a change of pace, went duck hunting. Not great, but not bad either. There was a lot of water on our old reliable slough, so we had to adjust a bit. Started out overcast and cool, then we got a bluebird day and they quit flying! My friend Rick, brought his Chessie out and boy did she do well. Sure is nice having a dog bring you the birds rather then getting them yourself. Rick and Mazie Jim in his "area" Mazie with a nice retrieve Jim picking up decoys End of the day! I did use my Merkel 147E today Best, Greg

Just returned last night from our Canadian adventure. 67galaxie and I visited our duck club in Saskatchewan and spent the week shooting ducks, geese mostly, a few sandhills and some game birds. For those interested, the game birds (huns and Sharptails) seem to have recovered very well from the severe winters a few years ago. I noticed big hun coveys and lots of chickens as well...Geo 67galaxie's geese and his A grade Fox: Yours truly with a few snows(Rosses actually) and mallards:
67galaxie with our decoy wagon and the same snows: The new retriever, he may be a bird eater. See how he's chewing on that goose foot: The view of the bird feeder out the dining room window. :

Geo, I'd be concerned about his nose. Looks like more of a sight hound which would be useful in prairie ankle high stubble but not so great in S. Ga. Gil

Gil Trust me on this; he ain't built like any sight-hound I ever saw, but he's young and strong enough to swing the sledge hammer while putting up the blind, not to mention the retrieving...Geo

I went out last week bird hunting; had two real good days of hunting. I managed to get seven grouse, all singles.

Hey all, went duck hunting today with my friend Rick from MN. Today was the last day he can hunt this state and we did well! We each limited and his Chessie Mazie did an outstanding job of retrieving. Just a great day with a good hunting buddy. Rick with the "pile" we shot Mazie with a couple of retrieves Today I used my Bernadelli Italia hammergun Best, Greg
