Default 3 Devils Dilemma at the Vanderbilt Marsh

My 2 year old Drathaar with My 16 Ga PHE and some late season flight ducks including a banded Mallard. How much longer until duck hunting starts?

Thanks Bob. It is a beautiful picture - Taken with a droid 2 cell phone - hard to believe. My wife had it blown up and framed for my Christmas gift this year. Looks great in my gun room.
I miss the Marsh.

Nice pic Mark. I got my first Drathaar in 1980 when I got out of the service. By the time I was done I had 11 of them, great dogs. These days I have 4 Setters. Your photo takes me back, the marsh looks nice. You,re a good photographer. Are you in Idaho?

Fred - Thanks for the kind words. 11 Drats - You are a lucky man! I am fortunate to have this one. She is coming into her own now. I think she will be a great retriever soon. She is already a great companion to myself and (more importantly) my wife and daughter.

This picture is not set up at all. It is just a shot of a moment during a duck hunt at the Vanderbilt Marsh - located about 1 mile north of Montezuma National Wildlife refuge in Upstate New York - The shot was taken with my cell phone. I saw her sitting at attention watching ducks in the distance and I just laid down my Parker and took 4 pictures of the scene. I like the one I posted the best.
Glad you enjoyed it. My avatar is a shot of us coming in from the hunt on the same day. I like that one almost as much.

Mark I hunted deer in the Pulaski area for a few years, Tug Hill area, we saw thousands of geese every year and have always wanted to hunt them.
