The Duck Tour begins...
The wind and the sun ganged up on us...
We left the dogs in the truck on this hunt unsure of how they would do in the Finishers. A duck hippy fetching the ducks from one draw...
Boy were we wrong about the dogs in the Finishers. They did great!
Here are some of the tiny eclipse ducks we hunted early in the trip...
A better look at some eclipse mallyards...
This hippy hunted a solo pothole and came up with the only banded duck of the trip.He promptly lost the band somewhere in the Suburban. (we hope)
Here is a mallet with his face blown quite off. They were that close...
The aftermath of an afternooner...
A sandhill crane my father took down from on high...
Our well trained master hunter dogs fighting over said sandhill...
A rarity! Kin to the sandhills, a pair of Whooping Cranes. The first Whoopers these Duck Hippys had ever seen...
Our 9 month old pup Hunley after a morning workout. She is now a "made" dog...
At rest while we picked up the spread...
She is ready for action...
That first bull can. That one will be on the wall!
The snow fell and the redlegs were down...
Part of the layout spread...
A good morning...
Snow geese on a farmers swathed wheat...
Easy pickings. We saw ducks on the swaths like this but I haven't found the pics just yet...
Fun morning...
And another...
Just kicked back after afternoon whackage...
Come on daylight...
Pile we picked and invited all the farmers to come over and eat/party with us...
These ones migrated to Carolina early...

Hell if $4.00 a gallon won't stop him, nothin will...
