Thank you Gil. I'm doing my best to keep food on the table.

Of all the waterfowl I've eaten, I don't remember anything topping the Woodies. I've never tasted snipe however.

Great photos too. Both of them. This is the best thread of the year on any forum I've seen.

Thank you Karl. The shooting is 75% luck. The rest is, well, that's mostly luck too.

A banner day, at the end of the 2018 season:



Two points on this bird, and the young dog is really beginning to get the game.


The birds were in the damn thorns, however.





Best,
Ted

Nice job, Ted. Those scratches will heal up long before your next grouse season opens. How warm was it up there? Were you hunting in that T-shirt?

Me too, Brent, though teal runs them a close race.

BTW, How do y'all get the pinfeathers off your ducks? For as long as I can remember I have used wax, but is there a faster way, now? How about those devices that go on a drill motor, or arbor, that look like so may short little rubber fingers? Will they get the pinfeathers off without tearing the skin?

Ted's from Minnesota, so you can't really tell how cold it is. It could be below zero and people up there would still be wearing t-shirts.

HA!! Maybe when I was a kid, but, rest assured I get cold these days. I still manage to hunt without gloves for the most part, but, I have been putting a glove on the right hand for a few years when it hits the single digits.
Stan, that picture was taken the day after Thanksgiving, this year. Temps were mild, perhaps mid 50s, with spotty rain and mild breezes. Yes, I wore a T-shirt with the blaze orange shell over it, the shell is warmer than you might guess. I refuse to have anything to do with a mall or shopping on that day, and I was alone on that trip. My hunting partners are dying off, or getting infirm.
I'm convinced the area sees enough pressure that the birds figure out where hunters (for the most part) will not typically pursue them. Head into the edge of the thorns with a steady pointing dog, and you can strike gold, so to speak.
Best,
Ted

A great thread indeed, and it's hard to beat roast wood duck. This was the main course of one of my favorite meals of the year.
