Pics from my hunt yesterday. Best day of duck hunting I've ever had. I recapped the day in the "Waterfowl Reports" thread.

1st half of the day. 5 drakes and 1 hen. Thought it was a young drake, oh well!

My old man standing in the beaver pond with a few brown drakes. You can see almost the entire pond in the pic. There were around 2000 mallards sitting there when we got there. He wouldn't fire a shot here, let me do all the shooting. I hope I can be as good of a dad as he's been, I consider myself extremely fortunate. He's taught me everything I know about hunting & fishing and can't wait to pass the same knowledge onto my boy.

This is why I love beaver pond hunting. This was our "spread" that was drawing in hundreds of mallards.

Total take for the day. 5 drake mallards, 1 greenwing, 5 drake woodies and a hen. And a grouse that decided to show it's head on the drive home. What a day!!

Nice pics! Certified, great woodies! Looks like a Pendleton toast to the Cattail Crawler.

and yes odonata - last saturday was a "pendelton moment" with the old man. once we unloaded the guns, the flask came out!! Hope we have a few more this fall. look forward to seeing you next wkd.

Thanks guys. None of the woodies were real trophies, but I'm getting 2 of em mounted for my dad for this Christmas to put above the fireplace at their new house. Sometimes a trophy isn't the animal itself but the memory that goes with it.

best one ever

Cookie,

Thank you veggies were over ripe beans, potatoes, zucchini,red onions, garlic, red and green peppers and sweet corn. Veggies were done on the grill over indirect heat in a tented piece of foil. Duck had been in a mortens tender quick salt water brine for 5 days. Simply seasoned with fresh black pepper, I dare anyone who says they don't like duck or goose to try it this way, it's promise it will be the best you have ever tried.. When grilled to med. rare it will be fork tender..
