David, You brought back some old memories for me as well. In fact I hunted in that general area in the early 50s, but don't think the dam was there yet was it? Also hunted the marsh area around American Falls for ducks as well. Same cars were around in plentiful numbers for hunting though - we were the old ball with a 50 Studebaker. Remember running into some old farmer checking his muskrat traps in the sloughs. Wanted to know what our religion was and we had to guess the right answer because he had a shotgun pointed at us. Having given the answer that made him happy he gave me 4 Mallards which had been caught in his traps unintentionally. They helped fill our limits of 15 birds each.

Great to see that there is another "vintage" person who hunts alone when he has to. And I ENVY you that Browning! Wish they made them like that again: double triggers and "half-pistol grip" stock. Perfect. A gem.
Thanks for sharing the day!

Great Pics!!! Thanks!! Brings back a lot of memories for me. I used to live in Pocatello and hunted ducks and geese on the Portneuf river by Lava Hot Springs. When the big waters were froze over the old P.R. would still be flowing and the ducks (all Mallards) would pile on in about a 1/2 hour before sundown. It was fast action and lots of fun!!!!
I also fished for cutthroats and rainbows on that same streach I hunted on.
What fun it was!
Thanks again!
All the best!

Great photo essay David! I very much enjoyed the afternoon you took me for a ride in the 46 Ford to see some of your hunting areas in "The Bottoms."

The car, gun and decoy are more than a car, gun or decoy. They are time machines. Thanks for the trip...
