Beautiful photos nonetheless; worthy of the wall!

California is on my bucket list. Duck hunting, that is.
Wish I could hunt San Francisco Bay with an 8 gauge like the old days. Last edited by Mills Morrison; 12-03-2015 at 02:42 PM.. Reason: More info |

One of these days, I've gotta make the pilgrimage and try to kill a cinnamon teal. And a Pacific Brant too I suppose, and a Tule Goose, and and and......

We see rusty teal every Jan. in the pond pictured here. They are in the open part which is about 20 acres. Your invitation of several years ago is still valid.

I appreciate it, just so many places to go, and so little money to do it with. Hah!
I'm off for a few days in Oklahoma next week to try and shoot some small race Canada Geese. I'd shudder to know how many geese I've killed in my life, but I've never killed anything but a good old standard and some giants. Them boys out there say the little ones of various types swarm their fields like bees around a hive and that they're saving a cattle tank with so many widgeons on it you could walk across them. We shall see...... P.S. What's the deal with the Tule Geese? Do you live in an area where any are ever shot?

The only Canadians we get in Alaska are Lessers. I shot at a large "mallared" one time and it fell nearly at my feet and I realized it was a goose.... that's how small they can be.

I think the Aluetians are considered the smallest race with the Cacklers a close second.

We get both subspecies of the greater white fronted goose. The tule will use natural habitat and the smaller of the sub group use the rice and prefere open water. I've shot one tule goose but we always have thousands of 'specs' on the rice. I'll get a picture this weekend and post it. Lots of birds now.
