Here's one that I thought was the best photo from this year so far...

From Oct. 1, 2006

This poor guy fell on Saturday morning.

Was hunting alone so I think there is a better story behind the picture than the bird.

I had to set my camera on a canoe paddle that I had balanced on a folding chair I brought with.

The timer gave me 10 seconds so it was a quick hustle to pick up the goose, gun, and look excited

at the same time!

I need to get a little tripod one of these days.

What great duck hunting weather... 80 degrees, 30+ mph wind from the south, and bluebird skies!

Here's a pic of my 9mth old pup Gunner with his first retrieve. I felt like a proud papa when he placed this widgeon in my hand on his first day of duck hunting.

Test Photo

Hopefully this works, first time I have posted a picture.

This is my sons first duck and the first time time he has been gotten some thing on the wing. Joey is 10 yrs old.

[Rost]

Here's our best photo of the year...In my opinion, it doesn't hold a candle to Elwood's pic of Joey though. Any picture of a kid holding his first duck is golden! Congrats Joey!

Here's my son and me (the proud dad) with his first duck.

TRM those are some sweet Harlequin pics. Some day I'd love to make a trip up there, maybe blow up some Ptarmigan as well.

I was visiting Seattle at the end of the summer. Wanted to get out on the sound for some sea ducks and some salmon but both were not in season. I bet it was a once in a lifetime experience.

Heres to Midnights last Hunt as well. My golden retriever Hunter is turning 12 tomorrow so I know how hard it is when they want to come along so bad but can't. I'm sure it was a very memorale hunt.

I took my twelve year old nephew (Nate) out on opener weekend with his grandfather, he managed to make his first experience a very good one. He also shot a Drake Wood duck.

[311Hemi]

Nice shots Michael. If you read the first post, you'll see that those shots should qualify. Nice Job.
