2014 - 2015 bird hunting season

Edwards you are one lucky person to kill ducks like that i wish we could get nice ducks like that here in PA

 

That's freakn Hilarious 3bears.

 

Went for an evening hunt in the field. Pretty slow but managed to shoot a few mallards and had this little guy come into the spread. Not normal for the location. Gonna have to put him on my wall. Haven't shot one this Nice in a long time.

 

Went just a little west of brownwood, tx.....To see some friends and knock a few off the 410 list.

Got the layouts set and got after it.


First bird by. Nice squaw.


Couple minutes later. Bluebird for the collection.


Finished this set with a nice skunk head


Moved to another cove to shoot some non sea ducks. Passed some pins and mallards and got ahem greater scaup and goldeneye. Both going into collections.


Finished my limit with a toad of an rbm.






And the food -did not suck!!

 

Finished up our ducks season with a limit of bills due to Gail winds and not able to get out to the other ducks. Managed to scratch a few ruddys and a mergig too. Should start freezing to chase some geese. Then Obregon in February.

 

Edwards is in Utah... here we call that North lol!
Very nice birds all around. I had to go back and re-read brazos' post, I thought he got those in Brownwood, then I got the joke...

 

Day two on lake brown wood .....

Nothing like laying in a layout in the rain.






picked up n unexpected bonus.



Added a really cool hybrid to the taxidermy collection.







Wind picked up to 25+ and was gonna stay there for several days so headed home early.

 

The hybrid is a gadwall x shoveler. It came from a good friends aviary. He had 3 -2 year olds and He has one more for sale at $250.

He will have 3 next year.

 

Love when we start seeing color.


Surprise bonus for texas.

Man, I see you guys killing those prime birds and such a nice variety and realize I wasted my youth hunting Ohio! Like so many others I have to pay and travel to get anything that nice. Then I see the pintails and it just blows my mind! I am just glad I get to mount some of those beauties every year for people who do get them. Love looking at all the pictures and all the great reference material too!

Killed a few nicer Blue Wingers down on Okachobee.

 

The heck with the blu wings!! I'll take the crappie! We got into em at Christmas.

 

Snows are finally showing up

 

Shot this guy out of a flock the day before.
