MT opener (heavy Axl pics)

[mtmiller]

My opener didn't go smoothly, but I fulfilled a hope of mine, a limit of greenheads with a can kicker. Not only did it occur on the opener, but today as well.

Here is a shot of Axl bring in our opening day can.

Here is another shot of Axl bearing down on a downed drake.

He had to dive for this one several times and got a very unattractive hold, but another one in the bag.

Tired pup after a busy opener.

This was the third duck this morning. As he came in I wasn't sure if he was a drake or not. Luckily he called as he was locked up and I know he was a drake. As I was snapping picutes, I thought I saw something on the leg through the viewfinder, but figured it was just a feather. Wrong...cool.

Wall of water.

Day 2 limit with the work-horse of the group (the one with four legs obviously).

It's great to see a dog working, I just wish I had the time to give to one.
Cool pic's and great looking dog. Axl rocks.

I really love the 4th and last pics. Both are blowups. You should find an artist for the 4th and have it doone on canvas

Very nice pics and limits, opener is next Sunday here. Love the jewelry, I haven't seen a band since I moved here. Maybe this year.

MtMiller, that pic of Axl w/ the banded duck in his mouth is the best photo I've seen in awhile. Very cool. You should seek some recognition for that photo.

 

[Bambistew]

Very nice. I like the one with the duck 'plowing' water.

 

[BigBuxMT]

Very nice, I had plans of making it out on the opener but it just didn't happen. Congrats on the jewelry and limits.
