GuNR and I found a few mallards this weekend.





Few more on Monday


Picked up a couple parrots as well.
 
Nicely done! Do you usually see many goldeneyes?

Plenty of goldeneye. I usually don't shoot them, but the first day was very slow early and GuNR was bashing me for not shooting. After skinning this one, I remembered why I don't like shooting them. Pretty birds and plenty of action, but I try to pass.

Pretty tough to find that sixth bird this time of year without taking a goldeneye. All I saw this weekend were mallards and eyes. I was dreaming of that colored up pin or wig, but not to be.

About time to hit the hard water.
 
Nice looking drakes. I just love late season mallards, one of the prettiest birds there are.

The huns were holding very well today. Henry and I brought home six partridges and one red leg.
 
A little pissed about the pics. They are very soft. I guess I need to use the manual focus next time with the remote.

Amen to that. Although this time of year where I like to hunt it's tough to find a third bird without taking a goldeneye
