Alaska duck hunting - chapter 2

[Richard Flanders]

Another nice weekend at duck camp. I had camp to myself the first night and the sunset was stunning. Life was good. I managed some pics this time. The shooting was slow but, as usual, if I had hit what I SHOULD have, I'd have taken home a lot more birds. The last morning was good - got this nice canvasback and a nice mature goose. The old Parker did it's part if I did mine, which wasn't near as often as it should have been. Really like hunting out of the kayak(Poke Boat). Gets me into places that would foul the prop badly with weeds. Destry will appreciate the big drake canvasback. This one is the biggest duck I've ever gotten out here.
