Thanks Steve. He is maturing into a great dog. Interesting point... I had to put him on a leash as he did not like being in the pit blind and there was no place for him outside of it. We are getting there bit by bit. I friend has a young lab that is half the size of Drake. Think your wife...

Hey Al, I think all the mallards are still here. I went past a field with a slough yesterday that had to have 2000 mallards in it. It is snowing like crazy today so you could see a push soon. BTW... It appears my personal email isn't working again... I referred a prospective puppy owner to...

Tom, the smaller sloughs were all frozen over this morning. Not a duck to be seen except on the larger lakes. It was cold last night.

Thanks for posting those Al. I love those pictures of little Drake. He is certainly not little now.

Very cool photo and I loved the videos. Great post.

I enjoyed that post Derek. :)

Very cool achievements Steve. Congratulations.

Drake is one of Al's bunch. Out of Habi and Chip and is now 13 months old. Couldn't be happier with him.

Carl, it is especially surprising considering we have had several snowfalls. I am done guessing what happens next.

Got out this morning with the pup. Birds are definitely leaving but we were surprised to take a few BW teal. We managed to give Drake some work. Here he is with Matt, who had to finish the job so the dog could catch up. Sometimes you get so caught up in the scenery that you forget to...

LOL There are birds everywhere in SK. No need to encroach on others. I have hunted several different areas of the province and done well. Not too bad at home in Alberta either. I got out this morning and managed a few ducks in a couple of hours. It's nice to be 10 minutes from home.

Greg, what part of the province were you in?

Thanks Dani, Florida would be great although I am in Toronto at the moment and it is pretty warm too

Funny you mention the mud and bogs Vince. We dropped through in one spot and stopped dead sitting on the frame. A call to a friend with a bigger truck and a long rescue strap solved the problem. Lots of fun. Those remote roads get wet and they are slicker than... (Fill in the blank). LOL

Vince, thanks for the comments. The sky seems to go on forever. On the 9 hour drive home I probably saw in excess of 500,000 waterfowl. The Reed Lake area was spectacular. The geese were interesting to compare. Cacklers, lesser and giant geese all made an appearance. Pretty neat to...

Thanks Al. Just wish that Drake could have accompanied me. Jason has two yellow labs, one of which is also Drake. That would have been confusing.

Thanks Steve. In 2013 we hunted an area a little west of where we were this year. We harvested 17 species in three days. I don't think we managed that many this year but still pretty remarkable. Good luck with the leaves. Ours are long gone.

The teal surprised the heck out of me. Funny thing is that we didn't see any GW teal. I was dressed for the weather and even had a little nap in the laydown blind one morning.

I could use a little warmth right now. I had to do some serious scraping on my truck windows this morning.

We hunted a good size slough (80 acres) that had nothing but canvasbacks and teal with a few mallards for good measure. Pretty cool. They just kept coming.
