Hey folks,

The opener was pretty good, wasn't as windy as originally forecasted and the birds were flying...Here are a few pics, enjoy! Other folks who feel like sharing their Brant hunts, feel free to add your pictures/stories!!

Four pretty maids, all in a row...?!?!!

Good shootin, fellers!
If you zoom in on the lonely boat, it looks a bit like BiG Boar.
Can't really tell for certain though!?

[BiG Boar]

Yup I think that may have been BiG Boar and Ian F.

Got to pop my Brandt cherry today thanks to Ian!

9 years old!!! Did you shoot it or did it just have a heart attack on the way by?

[Crazy_Farmer]

9yrs ain't even middle aged!

Heheheh...yeah when they get really old they're easier to get because you just have to shoot NEAR them and they drop out of the sky from a jammer!

[pnbrock]
