Hey all, went out a bit today solo, only managed one, but still great to get out on the prairies!

Today I used my 16ga Uggie 1030



Best,

Greg

Hey all, well today was a change of pace, went duck hunting. Not great, but not bad either. There was a lot of water on our old reliable slough, so we had to adjust a bit. Started out overcast and cool, then we got a bluebird day and they quit flying! My friend Rick, brought his Chessie out and boy did she do well. Sure is nice having a dog bring you the birds rather then getting them yourself.

End of the day!



I did use my Merkel 147E today



Best,

Just returned last night from our Canadian adventure. 67galaxie and I visited our duck club in Saskatchewan and spent the week shooting ducks, geese mostly, a few sandhills and some game birds. For those interested, the game birds (huns and Sharptails) seem to have recovered very well from the severe winters a few years ago. I noticed big hun coveys and lots of chickens as well...Geo

The new retriever, he may be a bird eater. See how he's chewing on that goose foot:

Geo, I'd be concerned about his nose. Looks like more of a sight hound which would be useful in prairie ankle high stubble but not so great in S. Ga. Gil

Trust me on this; he ain't built like any sight-hound I ever saw, but he's young and strong enough to swing the sledge hammer while putting up the blind, not to mention the retrieving...Geo

I went out last week bird hunting; had two real good days of hunting. I managed to get seven grouse, all singles.

Tim, those are wonderful birds. What part of the world were you hunting?

Hey all, went duck hunting today with my friend Rick from MN. Today was the last day he can hunt this state and we did well! We each limited and his Chessie Mazie did an outstanding job of retrieving. Just a great day with a good hunting buddy.

Today I used my Bernadelli Italia hammergun

Nice dog, gun, and dekes. What is the maker of the decoys?
