Seeing those buffleheads brought back a late season hunt from 10 years back. My duck and goose partner and i hunted Waquiot bay on the cape. We managed a limit of drakes and his lab Carly was flawless, the last bird ''locked '' up dead and glided 1/4 mile, she marked it and made the retrieve in very cold water and we had to help her up the bank where she gave us a look of ok we are done here. It was my last hunt with her and the photo of her with the 10 drakes on the overturned canoe is a treasure.
