2012-2013 Bird Hunting Thread....

Harvested a couple of drake greenheads this morning before work. And, a first for me, a Drake Gadwall. Pretty bird. (But then, most are.)

 

Nice pics everyone!

This past weekend I made it up to the cabin and shot a few. The bag consisted of geese, mallards, woodies, bwt, gwt and ringbills. It's a bad rice year but the hunting has actually been pretty decent so far.

 

Dang! life is good where you are right now matt!!

 

Nice birds everybody, now that my elk is down, lots of bird hunting to come!

 

Heres a couple of hunts from the last week or so. Looks like everyones season is off to a great start!








We shot a couple of wigeons yesterday what do you guys think about this one? It was considerably different than the others.

 

first 2 birds that decoyed this morning,

 

Had a good day today cold front moving in.

 

Got a few mallards after the Packers win today. One made the mistake of coming overhead. Another was a beautiful, chunky drake.

 

Opening day here in WNY. All of the bigger ducks (mallards/woodies) were sky high after the shooting started on public land, plenty of GW teal buzzing around. One flew a little too close...

 

a few divers from this morning

 

Tundra from Montana. Lots of birds in 8 of us tagged out.

 

A good morning in north central Montana. Foggy, and tons of birds in the area. My shooting was horrific. I should have been done in an hour. The two snow geese were a nice bonus. Both dropped on the first shot, then I short pumped my shotgun, and jammed the empty. I had the world to myself.


Reduced to possession.

 

Opener today.

 

Great morning here , put 3 geese down. They seemed to flying in from all direction's.

 

Some Ptarmigan while out caribou hunting
