Daughter's Very first Duck hunt

[Nemont]

Today is the opener of the Montana Special Youth Waterfowl hunt and I got my 12 year old daughter out. Here is here very first duck, after having teal buzz us all moring and shooting 10 shots she connected.

Took a long lunch break and returned to the blind. We finished with 1 teal, 2 hen mallards and two smilers (My fault on both of them) It was a great day to be with my kids.

Now can anyone tell me if this duck is an eclipse phase. It didn't look right when it came in with a flock of mallards. She took it at about 15 yards.

Congrats to the family



I hope she gets a autoloader or pump shotgun for Christmas. Them single shots can bruise a shoudler at times

does she care if she shot hollywoods or greenheads? I'm glad to see you're passing it on to your children, I managed to get one out of three hooked, and I've got one more to go, and can't wait till my youngest is old enough to carry the decoy bag.

Very nice Nemont. I like your son's expression, "c'mon dad hurry up with the camera stuff."

Congrats to your daugter.

Congrats to the both of you.Our teal season opened yesterday and it appears the freezing weather a few days ago pushed them southward.Teal can humble the best of shooters so your daughter did well.Nice pics
