Nice! I love GWT. Pintails, too. Cody, you need a 20 gauge with a Skeet tube in it shooting WW Xpert 6s.

We used to make a living on GWT almost 20 years ago. We'd go out once a week and kill two limits in 45 minutes. Leave the house at 9:00 or so, paddle about a mile, get set up by 10:30. Not like that anymore. I killed a couple stray teal last week. Trying new areas. Most recently I ran into TJ Booth and his brother, Kevin Booth's sons. Lots of gaddies and wigeon, just a couple pinnies. Only fired one shot, killing one bird, but it was a canvasback.

Is this 1939 Germany?

The first pic shows three of the retrieves Ava did on geese on one of the days out in Cold Bay last October. The second shows 6 back to back retrieves she made the next day on brant, in 2-3'...

Here is a pic of Bic--look at that tail :grin:

Best year yet. Been practicing my breathing exercises to keep cool. Ice brought a few hunters on top of me but after watching them drag their boats across the ice for an hour i felt bad for them. ...

Oh yeah, years ago hunting in OK, we were on a river running north/south with a steep bank on the east side. If ducks flew the river, sometimes you were shooting DOWN at them. That was a new...

My numbers aren't big, but so much better than last year. I hunted 17 days, scouted a few more, two skunks. GWT-58%, pintail-19%, mallard, wigeon, canvasback, ring necked all single digits. I ...

Congrats on a cool bird. I've been fortunate enough to shoot a couple of them over the years. Both times I picked them as what I thought were mature common drakes, and then it registered that they...

Very cool. Used to shoot them on a fairly regular basis back in the 90's, not so much now.

...in 2007, 14 years ago, I got some nice photos. I was shooting my then new D300 with my 300mm f/4. My first day with the new body, the shutter count was less than 100: 146015 146017 ...

He brought me back this Pinner and shortly after posed for a pic. Maybe he is telling me he is tired of breaking ice for me?

Maybe I'm getting desperate, but with my jerky pile lacking and the season rapidly coming to a close, I decided to take a few mergansers home. Dad and I never shot them when I was growing up, but I...

One of my favorites are ducks on the hard deck! ( I need to post up my December recap, I will soon.)

Late November, I was hunting out of my boat when I noticed more than usual water in the transom area. The dog always brings a lot of water back in when retrieving ducks. This time it was different,...

Decided late last night that I needed to duck hunt tonight due to possible conflicts over the weekend. Got out of the house way later than I wanted, and sure enough, when I got to my spot about 2pm,...

A couple of weeks ago I saw some pintails feeding. I took some photos from my car but they mostly came out blurry because of the warm air mixing with the cold outside air. Haven't seen this before,...
