Spent the week starting Tuesday in the Imperial Valley. Then Wister on Wednesday (& Saturday), some feed lots, a little freelance duckin', and finished it off with Lake Henshaw area today for band-tails.......Have I mentioned how much I love being retired..... ;D

Lost my only rooster I flushed into sugar beets.....

Aaron,

There was about 1 inch of freeboard on that back boat......Good thing the water is so shallow.....

I didn't see hardly any band tails this year! We're did they go?

Here you go.....I could see something similar happening to Euro doves.....Also, the way our turkeys have disappeared, I'm thinking disease as much as anything.

I sold that small boat and a Ambush Kayak to Jerry earlier this month. That mud motor was mine too, cool pics Steve!

The dog in this boat ended up in one of the steam pots the 2nd week in January, was retrieving a duck. Jerry the owner said all he heard was a yelp and his girl was gone.

Be super careful when in the area and keep your dogs at a safe distance in the back bay. So Sad! Beautiful chocolate lab only 3 years old!

Aaron,

That is really sad......The edges of the sea are nothing to mess with......
