Finally got all my pictures from this past season developed, thought I'd share a few:
Argentina in July, whitecheek pintails over the decoys. Yes that's a humpback, I don't shoot a double all the time.
Argentina again, a cool double retrieve on yellowbilled pintail.
Opening day for doves in Illinois. My Grandfather at 90 years old with his little straight grip JC Higgins 20 gauge that Dad restocked for him years ago.
A rainy day for early geese in Michigan. Jim with his broken wing, he still killed two that day shooting one handed believe it or not.
Opening day for early geese in Ontario.
My friend Nathan's young dog Stone making his first ever retrieve on game. The look on his face was priceless, it's like he's saying "What the hell is this thing".
Railbird shooting in Virgina after the Vintagers.
My pusher Gregory hard at work.
Sinkbox shooting in Quebec.
A nice view of Don and Russ in the box ready for action.
A trophy for me on opening day in Southern Illinois. I've killed shovelers before but never a drake in plumage oddly enough.
My friend Flanders and a nice bull canvasback in Ontario. He had big problems that day, the hammer screw on Parker had broken off so he was shooting single shot. He still killed his birds though, I was pretty impressed.
A view from the blind, Reelfoot Lake right after Christmas.
Me, Dad, Wally's Brother in Law, and Wally Vernon all at Reelfoot. We didn't wear them out but we got a few and had an awful good time doing it.
End of the season in Ontario, it was 14 degrees with the wind blowing 40mph.
The river all frozen, we had to put in a long way from where we hunted. If you think that wasn't a cold boat ride you're wrong....
Nathan with a prize banded pintail drake he'd killed that day.
Last shoot of the year out on the Eastern Shore. John Davis and I with hammer 10 bore Parkers.
One for Lowell, same trip, in the pigeon ring at Philly.
