We had our limit of 4 scoters each!!!! It was me and Paul Tychsen and the hunt was unreal, we drove 2hrs to get to the launch and the boat ride out in the ocean , setting up long lines in a swelled up seas and all over within 10 mins!! I turned on my go pro at the sight of first group of birds and it kept going until we were done. I extracted pictures out of the video to post here.

These two came together and split right and left to give us a perfect chance for a double and we did!!

The best performer was hands down Canvas, Paul's female lab, she made all 8 retrieves in one go without coming back in the boat and was ready for more, incredible energy she has, I was totally impressed!!

One of the shortest and most rewarding hunt I've ever been on.

Farrukh, duck hunts like that are amazing. Congratulations on your tremendous success. I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like they came fast and furious, nice shooting. I do have a couple questions concerning your camera if I may ask. Which model GoPro were you using? What were you using for a "mount"? (head strap, maybe?) Do you find the camera and mounting system you use to be a good choice?

Thanks McCann, they definitely came fast, I have a Go pro hero2,and I was using head strap , mounting it on head strap I think gives you a better perspective than camera on the gun, I have ordered a mount which goes on forearm, i'll try that and let you know how it goes. The only thing I not like is at times I can't tell if I turned the camera on or not, and have to physically take the strap off and look, or ask hunting buddy if the light is on. The hero3 has a remote on off so I assume its more convenient and covert , beside that the quality of picture is great.

It sounds like a great day! You may have been able to savor it a bit by drawing it out.

You could write a book called "how to get things done"

Scoters would be a chapter.


Great write up.

Keep going!
