Since my retriever is out with a broken leg, I use my son to fetch my ducks. Wingdinger is almost as good as a dog.

My buddies and I had an epic duck hunt Saturday morning. They really worked out spread.

My now 19 year old son, took a double on the opener on Saturday. The bigger bird had a 9 7/9 inch beard, and 1 1/8 inch spurs. He used 3 1/2 inch #5 Winchester supremes. Fully choked Benelli Nova.

We got in some good duck hunting over youth weekend. My friend Trent here is showing off our limit of ducks. He is a very good wingshot, and shoots a Mossberg Bantam in .20 ga. A really nice bag of Mallards, Wigeon, Teal, Gadwall and Pintail.

I took these two pro's duck hunting with me the last week of the season. They both shoot that Mossberg Bantam in a .20 ga. (A great youth gun), and I was impressed not only with their shooting, but their ability to sit still and wait on the shot. Both of these boys are going to grow into great waterfowlers. Oh yeah, that's my dog Laverne hamming it up with them.

This was my last limit of '08/'09. A great hunt, and a nice mixed bag late in the season. I can't complain about the season this year. We did have more Pintail than in recent years, and not one redhead this year. See you next year! Unless I see you first!

My son and our little neighbor "Oliver". Oliver is shown holding his first duck ever, a nice redhead drake, after our hunt this morning. As you can see, he is pretty proud.

This is my dog Laverne retrieving a duck on Saturday the 27th. It is a nice gadwall drake, but what I like about the picture is that her mirror image is reflecting in the water.

Shirley flushed up this nice pheasant for me up in South Dakota.

This is a gobbler I took last season. I used 3" #5 high brass with a XXFull Comp-N-Choke tube. I can't wait for it to start up! Turkey season is such a great time of year!
