Well I'm awful at posting pic's but Man are there some BIG Mallards around.
I couldn't make the daylight shoot in Cloverdale area, so headed out at about 11:30 am, fisrt shot fired at 5 to 12, had a limit of 8 Mallards including a banded drake by 1pm. They just kept coming, I'm hunting standing corn so only took singles so I would not loose them, (no dog) finished with a nice pair (hen and a drake) on a double bang bang, DONE.
Just like the good old days .... way too much fun.
Our family Golden becomes such a mess when I do take him (I get in $##$#$%$%$! from the wife and kids) the burrs are brutal. Needs a hair cut after. Sure wish I had stuck to my guns on getting a short haired lab ..hahahah lol
Can't wait for my next day off !
