Duck season ends tomorrow, but today was Addi's last day (her buddy Sage the Chessie is going in the morning) her last 2 retrieves of the season were both banded drake mallards! Nice end to 2016.

What state do you hunt? That's a ton of bands. We don't get near that many in Texas.

Thank alot Photofuckit for messing 6 years worth of stuff up. I have all the pictures saved in different places, but is going to take a pile of time to get things changed out and fixed. Nice to be able to post straight from my phone and they will stay, like the last few.
  
Well I got the first post back up and running 
Finally finished  I think I only lost 2 pictures in the whole thread and now I feel like this.........

I finally decided that I'd been without a duck dog for too long and pulled the trigger, as it were. Meet Cutter, just shy of 4 months old in this pic.

Just got back from SK last night and will post up some pictures of the trip. Lots of birds around and lots of retrieves, the white geese had a fantastic hatch and made for some great shoots.

Being able to own a duck dog is one of the coolest things! It's a lot of work but it's so awesome to watch a dog do what they were breed to do. I have a 4.5 year old black lab that if it was up to him he would never quite retrieving. If anyone is considering getting a duck dog take a look at this article. The articlegoes over some great points of having a duck dog and the training required to make a great dog.

We're in our split closed season which doesn't open back up until the 22nd. And Murphy's Law holds true - tons of birds in the area.

A couple of weeks left in the season and getting cold, put the boat in at -5* yesterday. Funny picture from this morning, sun was on her right side and melted the ice, left side still there.....look at her eyelashes
  And I finally got a mallard that we have been hunting since close to the end of last season, we had not seen it until Thursday and got him today. Snow white drake mallard, curl feathers included, no toe clips or markers indicating a tame bird.

What kind of camera are you using for those shot's? My current lab is yellow but my previous lab was black. Every shot I ever took of her she just came out like a big black blob. I couldn't get the highlights and details like you have in a lot of your shots.
Granted it was 8 years ago that I lost her so the point and shoot camera's of that era are probably eclipsed by a high end camera phone of today. |

So I got to take my 1 yr old lab to a couple of HRC training days here in NH and he did great! First time he'd ever even seen a duck and he had about a millisecond pause like "What the heck is that!", fetched it up and came charging back. He's a little rough around the edges but I think he could do "Started" without a problem.
Working daily on heel, sit, stay, here, holding til released for a retrieve and casting. Started whistle sit and he's got that (except he sorta thinks it means heel and sit). About to start working on force fetch, which I've never taught before so I'm a little nervous. Going to have a hunting buddy this fall for the first time in a couple years. |
