It takes plenty of time and it is fairly comprehensive. I have logged a lot of time at sea just on my boat and it was a good refresher. I have my card and I have seen them check at the launch Ramps. At least on the ocean.

We lose duck hunters every year in boating related incidents. Yak, canoe, Jon Boat. It don't matter. We are hunting in typically cold water and are wearing waders. You fall in off a boat in deep water and you cannot work yourself out of your waders then you are toast without a PFD. Need to wear...
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.

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.

That guy always brings that dog. I think it is a Frenchie. I see a lot of familiar faces on that sweatline. I like F1. Even with all that wind I figured the Walkers and Fs would have shot well. Hopefully things pick up in January. Surfed this afternoon and it was in the low 70s on the beach...
40 plus guys on the sweatline at SJ. I was around 30 something. Got on early but not much was happening. Refilled and ended up with 4. Lots of Wind. Sounded like the Walkers were shooting. I was North in the Es. Couldn't get a slot South. 70 plus degrees. Pretty crazy. Here is a Pic of Nikita.

I hunt Upland and deer and only on public land. I will not hunt Quail in spots that I know guys are hunting deer. I don’t care if it is public. I have had guys come right in on me when deer hunting when they were chasing Quail. I would talk to them and they were always apologetic about blowing...
Nice Buck! Just got back from public land. Saw nothing this afternoon. Just a bunch of Quail that I will hunt after D16 closes. Lot of guys out today.

Always a story about a Lab accidentally shooting their handler who left the blind to do something with the decoys. If the safety is on then you cannot be shot.

On D16
That is a legit D16 Shooter Buck. Nice Forkie. I have no issues with MCC Bucks needing 3 points on at least one side to shoot. You are paying a fair amount of money to access good private property. Shooting 3 points and higher makes sense to me.

Just something about being in a duck blind. Just watching your Lab pick up birds coming your way before you even had a clue. Then watching them smoke retrieves and find birds in Tullies you never would have on your own. And, watching a senior Lab turn back into a puppy right before your eyes...
46 on the sweatline and 11 on the refill. Made a go of it. Got a couple. Montana is coming up on 11 years old but still a puppy when hunting. Remarkable sunrise. The Marines were out in force. Great talking to you all. I hope the boys from Arkansas got into the Cinnamon Teal.
