The title means Chili in action. This all took place yesterday at the beaver pond.

I see it! I see it!

Those darn greenwings are such pesky birds. They are a pain in the backside.

Getting closer-----

Oh, no, there it goes diving on me again.

Maybe, just maybe this time.

Awe, rats, now where in the dickens did that little devil go?

Hey, I think I see him---

Maybe this time---

Yes----I did it!

Come on, Chili! Good girl!

Hey, Al, did I tell you that I'm pooped?

 

[Eddie Kershaw]

Eddie.

I think Chili has played that game many times.

Great series of shots Al.

I like it, it was like one of those flip books where you flip through the pages real fast and it looks like a movie. Thanks for posting them. I love hunting small spots like that, it's to bad that there's not many of those spots left around here, once in a while I'll come a cross one. I swear I live in land of signs, No Trespassing, Keep Out, Private Property, No Hunting, Fishing or Trapping. It's got so bad that I got one old timer (no offense to any one , shit ,I just turned 55 I'm almost one of them) that put up his own signs of No Hunting or Fishing signs and signed my buddys name on the bottom who actually owns the land. That 's so he will be the only one who hunts it. When I asked my buddy what was up with that ,he laughs and said he been hunting that field so long he thinks he has squatters rights. I just go to one of his other fields and let the guy be and hope I'm still hunting at his age.

Great photos as always Al.

 

[Brandon Yuchasz]

I like it. Watching a good chase is part of what makes hunting with a dog worth it.

I wish I could hunt birds with color like that up here.

 

[PaleoDan]

I think Chili deserves a nice braised duck breast for her efforts!.

Great pictures.

Thanks

Dan

Great pictures. Chilli is one hard working (and good looking) dog for you, hope mine has that kind of effort and drive. How many days you have left? We have been done for almost two full months and I already have the fever.

 

[Al Hansen]

Pat, it is with great difficulty that I have to say there is only one more Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then Sunday! Chili is my constant companion and has one of those typical Lab personalities where she will do anything to please me. She is 100% get up and go when it is duck hunting season.

Hey Al, That was fun to watch.

 

[Todd Duncan Tennyson]

Wow,

Those are some super shots of chili...

Worked that camera right!

Watch out for this e sharpened ends of sticks in the beaver pond, they can wreck a set of waders pretty quick, or poke a hole in a perfectly good dog

Loved those last two shoots. GWT are my favorite bird. Only got into them once this season. Hunting this Friday and Saturday and then another season will come to an end. Not been real good for me this year. God I love those teal!

[Dave Sikorski]

I don't think we have one of these, but I nominate Al for the participant of the month award.

Great pics. Save a few for us to make it through the off season.

Al,
Thanks for those photos. Great action.
Tomorrow is my last day for the season. Then back to repainting the decoys, dreaming of next season.
