First good day......

[kishman]

Well, after a few trial and error style trips to Boundary Bay I finally got into some birds. All I had to do was follow the advice of a wise old (well not too old ) gentleman in Christina lake. Too much fun, and no hippy grafitti on the car afterward . Kieth your the greatest!!



I know...it's a shoveler..............




Correct me if I'm wrong, Gadwall hen..../?

Is that one on the far right a shoveler? Yummy

Nice shooting and a mix bag of ducks, Pintails, Teal,Widgeon, and shoveler.

Let me know how the shoveler taste.

Kishman, looks like the Nova is treating you well! Congrats.

You are turning into a killing machine

Learned from the best......

Well done kishman. For a novice hunter you do really well.

Nice bag!
That shoveller is a nice plummage drake and the drake pintail would be at the taxidermist if Ian had shot it!
The Gadwal is a drake I believe, the second bird in from the left looks like a hen Gadwal but if the feet are grey, it's a pintail hen. The daily limit for Pintail is 4 so if you keep getting good shots like that, you'll have to get better at bird ID on the wing!
Nice birds, were you pass shooting or using decoys?
