2006 Waterfowl Photo Contest

[tealitup]

Ok so it should be a rule that you have to show proper gun saftey to post pictures. I can tell who I will not be hunting with.

[mrwalleye_13]

Well i guess i havent figured out how to incorporate this url stuff and even if i do the site requires a password... I have at least 75 pictures of this seasons fun in ND.. Been here for 3 years for college now and it just keeps getting crazier. Seeing 100's of thousands of birds in one horizon becomes even too much for the best of hunters and really paints a permanent picture into a guys mind..

[hattrk4me]

4 guys, 16 Mallards, 8 honks, and a bonus Blue.

Birds still coming in after our limit.

Buzzsaw: You must have a heck of nice camera and lens to get close-ups like that! What is your setup?

[buzzsaw]

Thanks Volare. Some of us photo junkies were just talking about that in the photo thread. http://www.fishingminnesota.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=926284&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

[Quackaddict9]

[Fish'n guy]

Here are some pics,,,

Opening Day 45 ducks 9 guys

Day #2 24 ducks and 1 goose for 5 guys

Thousands of Snows!

Anyway that isn't all of them by any means, so I will put up some more tomorow.

[Fish'n guy]

Here is the other half of the season.

[hattrk4me]

That decal came out of the Ducks Unlimited Catalog.

[sachem longrifle]

One could have a picture of a nice stringer of walleyes, a nice brace of grouse, a big buck, pheasants, but nothing matches the beauty of waterfowl or waterfowling pics

[Tom Wilson]

Here's a couple more that I just got around to processing...

Two Gadwalls on a west metro lake about to meet their demise

Here's a nice sunrise that greeted us on a lake near Hutchinson early in the season...

This was a spectacular sunset near the house on a late evening hunt...

God Bless,

[Tippman]

Wow, what a year. I'm jealous!

[SD_waterfowler]

some are from '05 too

[winniewalleye777]

You have been spoiled my friend... wow. Those are some unreal hunts in my book. nice work

[Fish&Fowl]

Great pics, looks like you guys had a helluva season. Only problem is you should have waited til the day before the '07 season to put those on here, cuz now I'm reminded how long I have to wait to see a goose or greenhead again! Congrats!

[riverrat56]

Wow whack'em and Stack'em, I'm impressed.

What is that white duck in the first picture? Albino something?

[smg04]

i'm guessing albino pintail?

[SD_waterfowler]

Blonde Pintail...It was pretty crazy...

it came in a flock of about 200 and it stood out plain as day. I was calling the shot so I made sure he was about 10 yards out from MY blind...haha

[Rost]

You're lucky I wasn't there...I would have dumped that bird long before it swung your blind!

You gonna be at that SDSU party? Pretty sure we're going.

[Art Barbarians]

Thanks for all who entered this year, I'm still getting entry photos here and there.....keep them coming, I know of a bunch who have threatened to enter and still have not.

The last day to submit photos for the contest is Sunday - Feb 18th. All entries after that date via email or posting will not be accepted in competition.

Hopefully a week after the deadline, I will have the entries skinnied down (for those of you who entered multiple photos....I will use one/category). I'll post that... for all to make sure I didn't make too many mistakes, from then it goes to the judges and winners and prizes will be announced.

Thanks,

The Barbarians
