Justin, that dog is about as useless as they come. Chihuahuas can barely DRINK water let alone swim after a duck. Great on the lap with a post duck hunt beverage and cigar, though.
Charlie, we missed a lot of mallard this morning. Probably could hit widgeon or gadwall at 70 yrds right in the eye. But a nice greenhead fly by? Heck, you'd think it was a matter of survival....get the yips- over think each shot-then watch 'em fly off with nary a scrape. Absolutely pathetic. Thankfully, we were blessed with many opportunities this morning. |

Brian, nice shooting. It's realy cool to be the only ones out and able to hunt.
Where did you get the giant chihuahuha? My wife has 2 that weigh about 2 1/2 pounds total. They won't even walk in wet grass much less swim, if we get 2 more they would fill up my lap. The neat thing about them is their constant shaking makes for a great massage when your muscles are sore.

Hey Paul, my daughter picked the dog up at a rescue place. Chihuahua/doxie mix with great vision and attitude. She loves flushing roadside pheasant on walks and eating bird innards when I'm cleaning them. Very sturdy dog.
Also, it is a surreal experience to be able to decoy ducks and NOT worry about someone else shooting in a blind nearby. With that type of quiet in the area we will see the birds circle the deeks, fly off to another field, then come back maybe two or three times. We are less stressed by not having to worry about someone else potting them. This way, both birds and hunters have a much more relaxing experience....until, well you know. |

Brian,
Congrats on a great day in duck blind! There's nothing better than calling in a limit of big ducks and hammering them with a Parker, then savoring a fine cigar.......... |
