12-20-14It was misting all morning with a slight north wind. Decided to sit on the south side and try our luck. Birds were all over but it was so dark and misty that we had to wait a bit to start shooting. I was done 18 minutes after legal and sat around a bit while the GF picked off some birds. A first for me was seeing a bird helicopter from high out of the sky and smack the ground hard only to have it get up and fly off before the dog could get to it. Should have had two limits but the GF needs to pick up her game lol. Paxton retrieving a couple of the early birds... Whipple watching some birds... The spread... Whipple bringing back a Teal... Whipple with a BB... Whipple shaking off with a Ringer... The take...

You need to send the one of whipple and the ringer to some outdoor magazine. The flying blood droplets captured in the photograph goes way beyond KEWLNESS.

12-24-14 Had some early shooters out this morning. Birds didn't want to play. Shot a dove that came too close. Shot a few teal and had one sail off in the neighbors field. Had Whipple all over that field looking for that thing to no avail. Decided to call it and go after dove. The sunrise... This guy pressed his luck... Whipple picking up some birds... The spread... The take...

12-27-14 Went out dove hunting this evening. When I arrived there were several ducks on the pond. Spooked most of the ducks off the pond while searching for dove. Happened to notice these two dudes stayed put... Paxton with a dove... Dove were scarce so decided to swap out gear and put a sneak on the two Pintails that stayed on the water. I dropped one as they jumped but whiffed on the other. Paxton with the Pinnie... Paxton with the birds...

12-30-14 Decided to check out some public. Was and wasn't shocked at the filth we found. Got surprised by a Canada Goose that came in cupped up. Somehow after 5 shots that dude flew off. Had a couple of flocks of Teal and Gaddies come over but land out of range and eventually fly off. Did find a ton of Snipe though. The dogs enjoying the ride... The parking spot... Empty strap...

12-31-14 Birds were pretty steady all morning. Only problem was that there was not one single area of the pond that they preferred. They were coming in everywhere. Should have had two limits. Teal belly up... Paxton with a Shoveler that crashed in the field... Whipple getting after a Teal... Do I have something on my nose?... Whipple after another... Whipple with another bird...

I took Paxton after a crippled Gadwall that swam near the tank dam and on the way she found a bird that I had seen land near the dam after I shot at it earlier in the morning. It had disappeared and I wasn't sure if it flew off or not. It had crawled out and died behind the dam. Paxton with the Gadwall Hen from earlier... Paxton with the crippled bird... Paxton on the search for a Teal that I shot behind me... Found it!... My gun got dirty... The birds...

1-05-15 It was very bright this morning. Spooked up some birds when walking down to the water. Discovered some ice. Birds kept coming back in the entire time we were setting up and afterwards while waiting for legal. We spooked them up on several occasions. Had some people trying to get an early start again. Birds were very steady. I was finished in 11 minutes and waited a bit for the GF to finish up. Bright and icy... Trying to keep a hole open... My limit blown to the edge of the ice... Caracara... Some Teal that came in... Whipple with the last bird of the morning but first retrieved...
