Wasn't sure how today was going to go, couple days without rain could have dried up the puddle I was going to hunt...

Those thoughts disappeared really quickly though as I heard, and saw plenty of birds walking to my spot!

I set up and had birds working my from the get go, with the low light this morning, picking birds was really hard!

This is about 10 mins after legal, couple of birds eH?...I think the white squiggle is the flash reflecting off a birds eye, I have another pic with several on it.

Ever wonder if you are on the X? This is a patch of pretty healthy fall rye

and this is where I was hunting...

so all in all one of the best mornings I can remember, had to very carefully pick birds to try for a Gentlemen's club and I still managed to have a couple ladies accidentally join us! I did end the morning with a scotch double on drake mallards, first for me!

I took my first ever video's hunting today, wonder if Angelina and Giada will star in my next production?

Perfect spot, perfect weather, makes for a perfect day! Great job.

I like the video's. Obviously your deeks work!! I think we'll try to make some action video's of my dad and I and get some live shooting action for you guys.

Good shooting,

Good show Ian, you have to love it when you're on the "X" where nothing maters the ducks just want to be there.

Ian,
Congratulations!!! Looks like one hell of a hunt and you were definitely on the “X”. Hard to believe you could photograph /videotape that many birds!

It's rare to have days like this, being able to share it is pretty cool! I'm not sure if I had a better camera the pics would be better or not.

Set the camera up on a tripod behind you and take some shooting action! With the way they're commiting suicide to your spread, should make for good action film!

Great clips - May need to look at those a few times during the long boring summer, just to make it through. Thanks.
