I was going to post pics of the ducks Sled and I shot but I see he beat me to it. His pics are better quality than mine anyway. I really need to get an iphone 4 just for the hunting pictures.

It depends where I will be hunting... might be in the TRF area or local. I'll let you know if something can work out.

Here is a solo hunt from this morning plus some bling, my hunting buddy didn't make it out.

[Gordie]

Elwood- I have to stick with Gadwall because of the white band markings on the wing and the head is shaped like an Gadwall...they have similar colors to the Hen Mallard though. Well who cares, it looked like a great day out on the marsh.

OK greast I'll go with and its a duck probally a Gadwall

[shamalex72]

A bunch of first's for me. My first redhead, first goldeneye, first gadwall and the first time I ever shot a limit of ducks. It was a good morning.

Quack nice smackdown on the ringers! Shamalex congrats on all of the firsts nice bag. I hunted with derek5 again lots of mallards and woodies around. Unfortunately our shooting went south today,some easy misses ended with 3 mallards,1gadwall and 1 shoveler

Final tune up for NoDak. Dog work is good, shooting is OK, hope a case of shells will be enough. Be nice to see some color vs all this MN grey that I've been finding.

[Jordyn Kaufer]

Ahhhh..

Well here are a few pics from the last week..

My dogs First Duck Retrieve!!!! (trained him myself)

Shootin clays the day before

A VERY nice woody shot this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Finlander]

Here are the ducks me (I'm Larry), Darrel and Darrel shot last weekend.

We bagged 12 quackers Saturday including 3 canvasbacks, we also shot gadwalls, widgeons, ringbills.

The mallards escaped our errant shots. They came in and left un-scaved! Dangit

We had the whole area to ourselves if you can believe that.

Sunday we get there a little late due to some barley pops tasting so good only to find 5 groups of duck hunters already there, so we have to go down to the very last spot we could find but we ended up with 5 ducks including a real nice mallard that ran into Billy’s shot.

We also had the perfect mallard shoot as 5 greenheads circle us once then hear me call when they were behind us and come in perfect 20 yards above the decoys only to drop one and miss all the rest! And the one I dropped swam away and I lose it! ERRRR! If was easy, it wouldn’t be any fun!

Oh well, it was a good weekend to say the least!

First goose band.

nice Pinny...MN or Dakotas?

Nodak, I was there for 6 days. Mostly diver hunting because the mallys were nowhere to be seen. Just as we were starting to get discouraged we got turned on to a field for our final hunt of this years Nodak trip, and let me tell you what, it was like a fricken mallard tornado. We actually ended up with a 6 man limit by 9:30 AM. I think we only had 3 or 4 hens and the rest Greenheads, some northern migrators in the mix, and we each got a pinny. I have never been a fan of field hunting, but now I most surely am.

Nice! Field hunting is a blast for mallards, it's fun watching all these mallards just swarm in like a tornado. I've never hunted in NoDak for ducks but looking to do a trip there sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.

[mws4dux]

Wet hunt today derek5 found a field with 300+ honks using it! Ended with a 5 man limit.

[canman]

Here is a 5 curl mally I shot yesterday!!!

[Quackaddict9]

I suppose if I counted the two you count, I've shot a few 6 curls then.

Nice bird nonetheless.

[10point05]

we had to replace one of the ducks with the dog chew toy since he ran off with one of with one of the birds

[WALLEYENUTZ]

A brace of birds from Manitoba

[123fish]

That is some kind of nice WALLEYENUTZ. Congrats.

[CANOPY SAM]

I believe a "brace" of birds means two, or a pair. Just semantics. Beautiful picture!

[Matt Breuer]

Yeah, a brace is a pair. Usually talking about a male and female pair...

Quack, nice mix there. Beautiful eagle head! That at your grandparents farm?

jeep, very nice sprig!

[Quackaddict9]

Matt- No, that was more further SE from my grandparents farm!
