11-18-14 The cold, ice and lack of wind made it rough this morning. Paxton stayed home in order to mend her foot. On the previous hunt she tore a toe up pretty bad chasing after some mice under some wood . A few hunts before that she gashed her back pretty good on the fence chasing after them. I guess she is pretty mad at them. When she doesn't go on a hunt she is always waiting to grab a bird and carry it around on our arrival back home. I was getting ready to clean the birds and there was one missing. It seems as though Henry has developed a liking to duck head and neck. Frozen blood on my gun... Whipple waiting for a call to arms... This guy was watching the action... Some ice... A hull stuck in the ice... The birds... All it takes is one little mistake... Henry with his precious...

11-20-14 Had several birds come in early this morning only to leave before legal. Whiffed at more birds than I'd like to admit. A single crow came too close and after being hit tried to fly off only to fall right in the middle of the lil pond. Took Whipple to get it and when she hit the water a wounded duck jumped up and flew haphazardly into the field over a hill. When it jumped I tried to run back 10 feet to grab my gun that I had laid down but I wasn't fast enough. We looked for it but could never find it. I am still baffled where it came from and where it went. My only guess is someone had shot at it the day before and it tried to find refuge in that lil mud hole and maybe went further over the hill than I had thought. I am happy to report that Paxton did exact revenge on the mice. The sunrise... Some birds moving around... Whipple with a Redhead... Paxton picking up the hen... Paxton with a Teal... Whipple with the Crow... Looking back on the spread from the lil pond... Whipple waiting to be called back... The strap...

11-30-14 This morning was a very bittersweet hunt. My buddy (gf's nephew/"son") was in a bad head on collision Thanksgiving night. He was in a car and on his way home with his gf, their 5 year old daughter and his gf's 14 year old sister. His gf ended up with a few scrapes on her left arm. Their 5 year old broke her left wrist. His gf's 14 year old sister was killed on impact. My buddy had to be care flighted to Temple and ended up passing away the next day. He was an organ donor and we got the call that they were taking him into surgery at 11:00 while throwing out decoys. It was also my old gal's 11th birthday today. So, we did a very quick birthday hunt before heading to the hospital. There were early shooters again and as usual the birds did not cooperate with us, so I ended up shooting a snipe for Ms. Paxton. The only birds that came in this morning... The spread... Paxton wondering where the birds are... Found this lil guy in a cow hole... Paxton excited to retrieve her snipe...

12-3-14 Fair amount of birds moving around today. Had quite a few birds on the water before legal. Even when legal came we had to wait to shoot because we couldn't see with it still being pretty dang dark. I ended up limiting in eight minutes and had to wait a bit for the GF to finish up. After watching her chase a Teal out in a field that kept eluding her I went to help. While out in the field chasing that bird we had several Gaddies land in the deeks. I bet next time she will let me (like usual) go get the birds that sail off into the fields. Had some geese come over when picking up. Paxton picking up a bird... Whipple picking up a bird... Paxton with another... Paxton with the one we had to chase down in a field...

12-4-14 Plenty of birds in the area this morning. Problem was very few of them were giving us a look. So, I decided to venture onto the interwebs. Not long afterwards, I happened to look up to see a lone Ringneck that seemed to be trying to land on my head. I think we startled each other equally but I got the last laugh when I winged him as he tried to escape to the right. While in pursuit of the Ringer I was surprised by a flock of Redheads that screamed over the pond right at me. I took a reaction shot and dropped one somewhere behind the tank dam. Birds trickled in after all of that excitement. Whipple watching for birds... The crippled Ringer... Whipple getting after it... Paxton searching for the Redhead... Paxton with the bird... Paxton picking up a Teal...

Wonderful pictures. What is it about duck hunters? Y'all required to take a class or something? Thanks for sharing with us.

12-7-14 This morning had lots of birds moving around. Bad thing was we had to leave early. Birds were flying strange all morning. Got surprised by quite a few that came from behind us and we never got a chance to react. On several occasions (after I had my six) I could hear wings and I would tell the GF to be ready and zoooooom a bird would buzz low between us from behind without her being able to get her gun up fast enough. I just laughed at her each time. We swear it was the same bird just messing with her. We definitely had chances for the three other birds but it didn't pan out. Paxton picking up a bird... Whipple picking one up... Whipple after another...
