Default First duck hunt with Mollie

Miss Mollie had her first duck hunt today. We had 4 hunters due to the low water here in NY. Red letter day for my pup and i.

Awesome Craig. If that's with little or no water I can't imagine what you could have done with a full tub. Mollie is officially a duck dog now.

I've said before, and I'll say it again "Black Labs Matter"

Very happy for you and your pup. I often wonder how many people really know the joy of hunting with their own dog. Nothing like it.

Great post, Craig! Nothing like a mixed bag and a newly-started dog - looks like she will be a winner on the marsh! Do you have to haul your boats out up onto the wooden pallets in your pics every time you hunt? Looks like a nice landing site with some firm ground to work on.

Second duck hunt for Miss Mollie, she picked up 11, lost 1. On her way to big dawg status.

Based on your report, it sounds like she’s the big dawg now. Good hunting to you both…for many more years.
