Default Railbird Shooting.....

I've been awhile posting these pictures. This was two falls ago, my friend Don Kaas managed to wrangle me an invite on this venture and it was a day to remember. We were shooting on the Maurice River in New Jersey with the Camp Family as our pushers. September is coming quick and that's railbird time......

1. First thing was a trip to "The Girls Place" an all female owned and operated bait shot to purchase our non-resident one day Jersey license.

2. Then it was off to the farm market to await the arrival of our gang of pushers.

3. All the boats in the water.

4. And off we go!

5. Pushing through the long grass, this is where the birds are at high tide.

6. My pusher who I'm happy to say only fell in the water once and it wasn't really my fault....

7. By bag for the afternoon.

8. And finally one of your faithful reporter just to prove I was really there.

This was only a technical Parker trip for me as I was shooting Dad's old Stevens. There were Parkers in the field though!
