Here is my best dog, Cody, bringing in my last pintail hen for the season. In Calif., duck hunting closed on Sunday.

We have had pretty poor hunting this year except for a couple of weekends that the wind really howled. That's when all hell brakes loose and you hope you have enough ammo with you.

Must be the economy - can't afford to put more ducks into circulation . . . maybe something subsidized by the government would be helpful . . .

Nice catch Cody.

Give that dog a super premium for that catch.

Pretty Lab....I used to have 4...2 chocolates, 1 black, 1 yellow

Beautiful bird... shot a pintail on opener last year... such a rarity in northern Nv. I wish I would have had him mounted...

Congrats again!

Had a golden and a red lab. They luved hunt'in.

Both thought I was a bad shot. The stares they'd give me when I missed my target, made me have to turn my head away. Eventually they began to snicker! Then just lay there, like they were saying, rrright, just save your ammo money and buy us some decent dog treats. smart dogs!
