I am a little late to the game, but here goes. I took my boys on their first duck hunt at the end of 2016. 45 minutes SW of Boston and we were not lacking for birds - 4 geese and 8 ducks.


Then a friend invited us down to their house on the Tred Avon on the Chesapeake Bay, giving me a chance to hunt down there for the first time in 35 years. The birds were elusive but any morning spent on the Bay is a good morning.

We got in a quick trip to Addiville, RI to chase some chukars. Perfect day for upland hunting - very cool, good breeze and lots of sun.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
