 The kids will have pack up and bring the boat back to the slip! Attached File |

Got any pheasants up there? My Cutter likes them even more than ducks and geese, I think. Here he is with a couple roosters, last year, shortly after he figured out what we were out there for.

So we are in the middle of a very slow early goose season, so not many pictures to share. Our #1 go to spot is dry for the second year in a row, the lake is full of bass boats and the corn is finally starting to come down at one of our local farms. My daughter texted me from school this morning, 1/2 way across the country and said she missed her dogs and I needed to do an update......so here we are, Cal.
Finally got a few out of the corn on Sunday, got to hide in the weeds and the cabbage plants  Attached FileAnd some post hunt snuggle with with her sister, Ellie is getting big  Attached File |

So my pup made an awesome retrieve of a mallard this morning, and in the process sliced the hell out of his right hind foot. After surgery and stitches he's out of action for 10 - 14 days!

Great thread OP thanks for posting, I'd never seen it until this morning. I don't own a lab myself but my brother & several friends do so I'm very familiar with them. It's very interesting to see them working where you are.

@VTDuckGuy are you seeing any migration yet? We've had some Canadas headed south in the last week, but still lots of local teal and woodies.

What will be interesting is what the geese do after getting some pressure, there is almost no corn cut, so I am not sure they will stick around in numbers. I will have a much better idea of what is going on after this weekend. |

We're just starting to cut corn in the Upper Valley. My best producing field was cut today, in fact. Local geese probably haven't been too heavily pressured yet so I'm hoping the fresh cut will entice some visitors.

Very nice! The river zone closed on Monday for 2 weeks so I have to find some interior zone spots. Odd that I tend to hunt VT more than NH. Probably because everybody I hunt with lives in VT.

A few weeks to go in the duck season and battling the snow and ice, but killing lots of mallards and black ducks. This morning was 8* when we put in at the boat ramp, ice forms quick when they get out of the water.

Hows it going? Cutter and I have had lots more time to train since the shutdown. He's lining better and starting to take casts in a less wild-dog-on-meth sort of way
 Also working on his control a lot. He's so high energy he has trouble waiting to be released.How's Ellie coming along? |

She is doing well after coming back from the trainers, the weather is perfect for doing land work, still a bit cold for any serious water work. Marks are coming along great and she is going out close to 100 yards with the dummy launcher, intro to decoys was real funny. I set a bunch of silos out and she came out of the crate with her hackles up thinking they were turkeys (she hates them walking thru the yard) after a minute she could care less about the decoys. We are also doing a bunch of pile work, which she is getting the hang of. Lots more to work on, but there are so many things to do nothing gets old and repetitive, and she has a ton of energy to burn off. She has more drive than Addi had which as you know can be a good and bad thing, real good once you get it under control, but getting real steady on birds will be some work. There are days when my wife wants to shoot her, if she wasn't so cute. So far she has chewed up at least $500 in her shoes along with various other pieces of clothes, she has a taste for Victoria secret bras   Edit to add. Cleaning out sap lines a couple of weeks ago  Attached File |

This is a great thread.
Do you have any pics of how you hide the dog in the boat so she can still see? Or how she gets in/out? I'm picking up a pup this weekend and mostly hunt out of a boat. |

I'm picking up a pup this weekend and mostly hunt out of a boat She sits on the back deck of the boat, outside of the blind, but right next to me and it is camoed in. As for getting back in the boat 99% of the time we are pulled up close to shore and she just jumps in, but I also have a welded on fold up platform that is used in deep water. I will post some pictures of the set up after this weekend, our ski boat is going in the water and is currently blocking the garage door to get the duck boat out. |

Here are the pictures of the back of the boat as promised @fowlrider
From the front looking back  From the back looking forward, blind sides are down and over her left shoulder is the doors to get in the boat, closed when hunting, open for running.  Looking at the side of the boat, she would normally sit just to the left looking at the picture. All are taken with the motor cover off.  Final 2 are the fold up ramp in the down position, motor cover off. Motor can be run with it down.   |

It's been a good early start to the season so far. Another full limit of ducks Thursday morning with Jr. and a limit of geese in the evening with Addi. It really sucks that the Atlantic flyway went to reduced limits last year, 2 mallards and 2 geese can make for a short morning, but there is nothing we can do
