Nice birds everyone.

I did limit today with 1 mallard and 5 ring necks.  No tailgate shots, just a capture of the reason I was out today.

Love the colors wanderer!

no ducks here either. Didn't want to shoot the roost, just confirm it. Beautiful evening for a paddle though.

We got 5 ducks Saturday morning. Four from the duck blind and a bonus mallard goose hunting.

Had a good shoot yesterday.  I didn't do any scouting late last week because I was set on bow hunting.  Saw a ton of birds while in the stand so I scouted Saturday afternoon and found a good hunt for Sunday.  The drake widgeon is in my freezer and likely going on the wall.  I didn't take any closeup pics of it, when I got home my phone was wet and not working.

That's a really cool pic with Molly. 

Good job Matt.  A mounter drake widgeon would be awesome.

 I forget just how big those mallards can be until you put it in perspective like that. Man that's a big bird!!!

might be the worst "tailgate shot" ever. 4-buffleheads and a ringer in there all cozied up together.

Neighbor Guy, you shoot a 20 gauge for smaller birds like bufflehead and teal?

I do all of my hunting with a 20ga

And he's pulled off some very "sporting" shots with it.

After seeing what my one kids 20ga is capable of I'm really considering going back to one.

Nothing super pretty but its keeping the dog happy.

A few pics from this past weekend in ND, there were birds but you had to put on the miles to get them

Matt, that has to be one of the most realistic spreads around.  Hope no one ever takes a swat shot at them.

Awesome pics as usual Todd!! And cool to see a woodie in a field spread. What part of the state are you hunting? I never saw a woodie outside of the river bottoms in the MW part of the state

SW part of the state, we landed  a couple other flocks of 10-15 and didn't shoot because of geese working, Iv'e shot quiet a few in the inter lakes region of  Manitoba field hunting as well. There really decoy well on dry land ..

Got the pup out for her first SD waterfowl hunt this past weekend! She turned 1 yesterday, so kind of an early birthday present! LOL I was very pleased with her performance. She had a couple of incredible retrieves! We both definitely have things we need to work on, but it was fun to get her on some birds! I'm pretty excited on the years to come!

I'll back Todd on this as well.  I have shot wood ducks in the field in Manitoba as well.  We were hunting with a local friend and he thought it was a widgeon.  He had never seen one or heard of them.  I told him they live in nest in trees and will land in trees, he outright called me a liar, I thought we were going to duke it out right there.  He could not fathom a duck landing in a tree.  That was 15 years ago, since we have hunted together many times and he refuses to shoot them since they are so "pretty" and this is coming from a 6'6'' 300 lbs wheat farmer.

A lot of birds down in the lower pools, and the weather finally decided to cooperate. A limit this morning, and a few birds from a short evening hunt earlier in the week. My youngest lab Waylon impressed this week.

 

[Lunker]

Not piling them up but have had some fun hunts the last week. Pretty fun to watch the Cans work. 

 

[Neighbor_guy]

I can see now that if I am ever going to put a can on the strap I will need to go south instead of north. 

 

good work and thanks for sharing!
