I found some pictures

Post by Danibeth »

I was going through some things today and realized I had a bunch of pictures I hadn’t posted from this past duck season. Not a bad thing. Finding pictures that bring back great memories of a previous winter chasing ducks in the marsh. We had Whistlers
Image

and more Whistlers
Image

And the Whistler habitat was really quite gorgeous
Image

And Mike did a good job of hiding in the flowers. He’s not too macho to be intimidated by a bunch of flowers
Image

We had a few new decoys out in the spread this year

Image

And the decoys did their job
Image

But we had other visitors than just Whistlers and Mike had to give Steve’s first decoy that he had ever carved a good talking to because there was just too much of this going on
Image

so a talkin he gave him

Image

That seemed to do the job too

Image

Image

Image

My Black Dog and Mike got ferried around and they didn’t seem terribly pleased about it,
Image
but that’s just the price they pay for getting to hunt pretty places with sunrises like this

Image

And there were other neat places to see gorgeous sunrises

Image

Which had great results as well

Image

Soon we’ll be out chasing wood ducks and teal again….soooooooooooon

Gorgeous shots and nice narrative, Danibeth.

Makes me want to load up the shotgun and decoys, although my Rottie isn't crazy about swimming. He's the first mate on the boat.

Good luck with the upcoming season!

Great pics, and those are some of the nicest decoys I've ever seen. Thanks for posting. Y'all can have the mini season, I'll see y'all when it cools off. For some reason duck hunting isn't duck hunting to me if I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt and carrying a thermocel.

Nice! Some very good colors on the decoys; hard to tell where the real birds ends and the imposters start in a couple of the pics.

Love those labrador eyes

Thanks y'all. Steve knows how to take great pictures.

Some more pictures from a salt marsh hunt. Steve made a truly gorgeous shot on a drake bluebill that day. One of the most impressive shots I’ve ever seen. It was my Black Dog’s turn to retrieve so off he went after the not quite dead drake. It was a looooooong retrieve that needed some direction, but he did very well.

Image

Not the most traditional of carries but it sure got the job done

Image
An end of the day shot with a better shot of one of our newest decoys in the rig.

With new friends
