I shot these two birds in January of this year took them to my cousin to do the taxi work on them and he just sent the picture to me tonight saying they were ready for pick up. I think they look pretty good also said I could change the position of them pretty easy if I wanted to. So the story of this hunt was quite interesting. Two days before this hunt I was sitting over my dozen and a half decoys and right at shooting light I had teal all over me then the big Gaddys showed right after they did, Low and behold 15 minutes in I had a full limit and was wondering why I walked 2 miles, remember it was a terrible drought, to shoot for 15 minutes barely had time for my back to quit hurting from carrying all the gear on my solo trip. So I sat there and watched tons of birds decoy and land then swim off or leave, so I decided to jet as well. So that leads to two days later I head back to the same spot less gear but same long treck, only to have a few birds show luckily one was a banded GW hen, I did miss an opportunity on another group as I was taking a photo op for the newly downed banded bird.

Day before
