Default New Year Ducks #3 Fame 12ga

I hunted with my #3 frame 12ga DHE 30" the last two days with my friend Mark Kircher. A few birds around in our area.

That’s a nice photograph to memorialize a good day in the marsh, I’m hoping to do the same over the next couple of weeks with the goal of harvesting a nice drake Black Duck.

Craig, what a great photo. Makes me want to add a 3 frame 12 to my wish list.

That’s a really nice photo Craig. I especially like the layout on the natural snow on grass setting. A great Home Page photo IMO.

Overall it has been a very challenging season - They changed our hunting dates dramatically - we lost about half of our Marsh days (when water is not frozen)
Craig and I managed a few late season marsh hunts with the recent thaw, but it was after a long sustained freeze - Not many birds returned.
The good news is we both made a few good shots. Craig making a long right to left on a drake that I will remember forever.
Not our most productive year but I am still sad that it will be over in just a couple days.
Here is a pic after a pair of drakes came in to our decoys.
