Great looking dogs! For me hunting with labs is what’s it’s all about. Nice pics.

I will never understand duck hunting without a dog. It's so much a part and look how quick your pup is already better then no dog

See the pic that looks like there is rice in the breast. That’s called a ricer. It’s not rice but instead it’s a parasitic disease that looks like rice in the breast. If cooked it’s not harmful to eat but for me it’s a little gross and I dont eat them.

Mark,

It seems to be this parasite is most common in spoonies, but I've had green-wings, cinnamons, and even pintail with it.

Like Steve, I have had them in many duck species I have shot. Add mallards, Gaddy and Widgeon to his list.

Steve, Were all 3 spoons taken from the same flock?

 

[skeet]

Looking good steve. I need to get me another one soon so no can teach him the ropes

 

[Ahidog]

Yep black labs rule

 

[SurfNHuntSD]

Mmm rice-a-roni. Nice shoot though Steve..

I've had weird experiences with the ricers. One hunt I shot GWT, cinnies, and spoonies and every single one had it. Then I'll go many hunts and all were fine. It's been a little while since I've had one. Hope I'm not jinxing myself now...

Great to see you and the boys out.

 

[Cast N Blast]

Really enjoy seeing all three labs colors- so cool together!

 

[ilovesprig]

Add pheasant and a redhead to Coley's list of new stuff to retrieve...Added a few ducks from Wister too.
