Dog retrieves on the ice?

Howdy Fabs.

I had a typo in the above statement, "I would not let my dog out on ice over a flowing river".

Glad to Nitro is out chasing birds. Axl and I had a pretty good season. We ended up with just over 60 ducks for the season. Here are a few pics.

Opening day


Mixed bag with my little brother. This was only his second trip duck hunting with me, so he shot about any bird that came in. I think he is starting to be able to distinguish shovelors though.


We even found a white bird this year. Unfortunately he was not as big as I had hoped. Next year hopefully I will get a good one for the ceiling.


When Axl wasn't getting ducks, I had him retrieving decoys. Better him in the mud than me.


We did get into the mallards big time once the weather cooperated. This day it was -30 as the sun was coming up.


Sorry I haven't been here in awhile. Decided to disconnect at home and only visit sites occasionally from work. Maybe this got me to the field a little more. I ended up hunting or fishing 75 days in '04 and shot my biggest whitey and muley last fall. Life was good.

Good to read up on what you guys have been doing as well.
