Heading North unmolested

[C.O.B.]

I never really cared for the taste of waterfowl and only hunted them when someone was along that would use them. The only upland bird I couldn't eat was a Sharptail I shot in The Pas northern Maintoba. Even the Black Lab wouldn't eat the thing. Never shot another one.

Both are pretty heavy dark meat. Should you happen to ever shoot another sharptail or have any dark meat fowl, try this recipe. You might change your mind.

Jack, your photography skills amaze me.

Lest you think I'm some kind of wizard, this helps me a lot. It is why there is still definition of ducks at 400 yards for the knowledgeable to tell the difference between canvasback vs. redhead. The lens is image stablized which helps focus a great deal when all I shoot is hand held. Of course there is still composition etc which can be helped a bit by other software as well as color work. A bit like playing games with film using dark room tricks. All much easier with digital. But, being at the right place, right time and knowing the possibilities and limitations of your gear is still for the guy behind the camera.
