That's great Bigcat. Nice looking Lab. Still some growing to do, how old? My three year old Drake is up to 120 pounds, but he's more a family dog. Loves hunting until the guns start going off. Tried everything, but can't cure the gunshyness.

She is not a pup she just turned six, and is an outstanding upland dog.

I'll start up again after muzzleloader season. With everything freezing last week, the fields were loading up, but then the snow came and the birds moved. Now with the rain melting the snow and ice, they should be hitting the fields again. I can't wait, but I would like to get a deer first, if I can.

Just got back home from the X-Mas eve thing with family and in-laws. Got out of work early Monday, no time to deer hunt so I hit the marsh for a couple hours. Got my first duck jewelry, from a blackie. An early present to myself and I was more excited than my wife and kids were about their gifts.

No chance to get out today. I saw probably 1000 birds yesterday, mostly blacks, a few teal and mallards, and one flock of twelve honkers that were absolutely huge but never came in range.
I'll get out again New Year's eve after work and then every weekend after that. I'll concentrate on the ducks until late goose opens, then I'll hit the fields if not too much snow.
After four years, I am actually learning what to do for success. Not every time, but expect to do some shooting every time out. Major lesson of last two years is to stay with "Hevi-shot", I cannot stand steel after having birds hit the ground and then fly away. And at almost $3 per shot, you definitely make sure the birds are in range before shooting.

1000 birds so that's were they all went, my spot was barren today. I did get one crack at some honkers, but just a little out of range.
I got a hunch for tomorrow.  |
