Had a banger of a morning. Solo limit with the pup. Done by 8:10 am. Seemed to be new ducks in the area. I'll take it!

Love that first shot of the pup. Good looking dawg. 

Thanks! He sure loves retrieving ducks.

Another good solo job with Hank. They are getting weary and fairly stale, so we had to work for them. Always fun!

Been a decent last few days. Birds were stale coming into the weekend. The freeze up north and the colder temps here should make for a great week! 

Went to Kansas Thursday and Friday and we shot em pretty good. They are definitely getting weary, but there are a lot of mallards around. People are posting everywhere about lack of mallards..well, go find them.

Went to my private spot for the first time yesterday and this morning. Shot two mallards in an hour yesterday and then tried to shoot a deer. Shot four gadwall this morning. Should've had an easy limit of the greys. Way she goes.

Forgot to post this with work crazy the weekend we went. But, I Met Eddie Mattingly online as he was wanting to learn about waterfowling. We met up for a hunt 11/14 and he shot his first ducks ever. Wasn’t a barrel burner, but it was awesome to see him experience the process. I think I yelled louder than a gunshot when he shot his first bird--a juvenile drake pintail of all birds! It's weird about duck hunters, we are either mortal enemies or the most helpful out there, and that is not mutually exclusive. I'll chalk this up as a winner!

Good Job!  I like it when we duck hunters can all get along to teach, share hunts, and experiences.  I am sure it put a smile on both your faces.

Indeed! It's much better and it allows me, and others, to teach good ethics, practices and processes in the marsh. Not that I am God's gift to duck hunting, but I don't skybust, set up too close, spot burn, etc. and I think the best way to combat that stuff is to teach it.

How's everyone been doing? Things have been a little slow for me. Shooting birds, but they're stale. The Dakotas finally freezing up surely will help. I never really hunt the draw areas but they seem to be doing well.

We also need some actual cold. Two years ago everything was frozen solid and it was 10-15 degrees at night. The weather the last few years has been less than ideal to say the least.

Hank got his first goose retrieves, too. He didn't miss a beat!
