Default New Year Traditions

A bunch of my friends and family have a tradition of having a hunt on a local preserve on New Years Eve. We have been doing this for many years and it is a great time to get together and celebrate. This is a picture of my good friend Larry and my son Doug, we had 9 in our group. OK so it is pen raised birds but still a wonderful time and the labs don't care. My son's 6 month old lab Roxie made her first flush and retieve. How do you celebrate the New Year in the great outdoors???

A lot of us go to Major Waldron's in Barrington, NH to ogle other people's fine Parkers and burn some serious powder.

We do have a bunch o' fun!!

I walked some ditches today for ducks. After three failed attempts, I was able to get two mallards. Tomorrow is the last day, so back out to chase the ducks.

At the stroke of 12:00 my grandfather would shoot his shotgun off the back porch.
And if the neighbor did beat him to it, he would yell "Damn it Roy, you jumped the gun again"!

Happy New Year

This afternoon I will load up the dog and head to L.A. ( lower Alabama ) Pine Apple it has A stop sign. Will visit friends and deer hunt 3 or 4 days. Will give them a peak before turkey season at the GH 10 that found me in a gun shop while bird hunting in Montana this past Oct. Would love to kill ( I do not harvest ) wild turkey 100 using a wing bone call that I made and a Parker.
