Glad I went again this morning
 

The old saying...."the harder I work the luckier I seem to get"....
Got another late night call. Could have used some sleep but the season ends Sunday at sunset and I could not leave a good friend without a partner with the ice - anyway I'll have 10+months to catch up on sleep.

We took four birds. I was fortunate enough to take this pair.

Nice work. I have yet to fire at a duck this year. We went from drought to covered with snow. Will have to get some birds in the second split on return migration. Hardly any around right now and this used to be the best place in CO to hunt ducks.

and a band -

nice day out Mark,

good eyes Rick!! I did not see that band until I took a second look

them are some fine looking ducks for sure i too had to take a secound look on the band... charlie

now there's a compliment considering your vocation :rotf:
