Crap. That is a busy spot. John

Nice Buck! .30 .06 all the way. John

Did you get a Buck this season? How is your dog working out? John

My brother and I headed North to hunt ducks. Hunted Friday through Sunday. No shortage of ducks. Took Nikita. She did really well. Snowed good starting Saturday evening through most of Sunday. John

I hunted SJ today. I figured, no way will the sweatline be as long as Saturday. It was close. Around 60 today versus 70 on Saturday. Wind came up good by 1100am. I took my older Lab out today. Montana had a lot of fun. I imagine it will be packed Saturday. John

I took Nikita with me and headed for SJ this morning. There were 40 plus guys on the sweatline. We drew 35. Nothing really open. Went with the refill option. A guy came in with 6 ducks from one of the Marshes. We took that Blind. The wind was howling. Ducks were flying from all directions. I got...

Nice Duck! John

I will likely head up to Bishop for closing weekend. John

They would have produced a great bunch of pups. Nikita has excellent temperament and is smart. Your lab is a well proven bird dog, and he is a good-looking boy. But, I got Nikita fixed early on. I just didn't want to deal with all the puppy drama. John

Thanks! Nikita acts like a boy. However, she is all girl. 76 pounds of it. Total Jock. She has been lots of fun. John

You did good! Wister is not easy to figure out. John

There are Bandtail around. We did well yesterday and I went out solo today and limted. Here are some pics of Nikita making use of a natural dog stand and a nice sunrise. John
