Hi all, went out after work today, solo. Didn't see but 3, it was a bit windy. 2 of the birds were wild, but the 3rd one didn't get away. I was using my 16ga Carl Goluch Best, Greg

Gil, I will be hunting in October in the Watrous/Last Mountain Lake, SK area. Blue Wing Teal are such beautiful birds after the season ends and they are in breeding plumage. Now they are all LBDs (little brown ducks) as shown in your tailgate pic.
Gil introduced me to the modern grown Carolina Gold rice. He gave me a book telling the story of its resurrection involving a Texas seed bank. I was so impressed with the story I bought a ten pound box of the rice. You wouldn't BELIEVE how much rice that is. Seven ounces makes all you can eat with supper. But it is the best rice I've ever tasted!...Geo

Geo, don't know if you recall, but Floyd illustrated the book which was written by the former owner who is the father of the present landowner. Gil
PS: Watrous is 1800 miles away and at the top of the Central, or maybe Mississippi flyway. What's this teal doing on the Atlantic flyway??

Will President Trump's opening the Savannah River Refuge to hunting do you guys in Savannah any good, or has the Corps ruined it?...Geo

Great pics, Gil.
Were you shooting in flip flops?

Geo, the duck hunting will never be like it once was. The Hordes of Engineers through one boondoggle project have pushed a slug of saltwater so far inland that the natural foods aren't there like before. I know some places I'll hunt woodcock if they don't require steel shot. Spring turkey hunting has been allowed for 20 years. Stan, I lost two pairs of flip flops in the mud. Next time I'll duct tape them to my feet. There was just enough of a nor'easter to eliminate mosquitoes. It was 76 F when I got up to go hunting. I haven't seen teal like this in at least 40 years and more likely, ever. Gil

Nice looking Draat, Dave. Thanks for sharing!
When I bought my GWP Willy 12 years ago, I figured I'd train one more bird dog/retriever into a one dog team. Nope, Willy won't swim, never would. She points and retrieves other game on land but insists on only picking up ducks in water up to her knees. I can do that! Had to get another Lab for duck shooting...Geo
