Well I'm pooped after opening day - phase 2 of the Florida season. Suffice to say I have never seen so many Whisters. Steve; Take what we saw on your Christmas hunt a couple years ago and increase the numbers by a factor of 5! Ky, Jeff and Shawn are having a great time and even got to see the night-time Space Shuttle launch after dinner.

Here's a few photos from today.

Nice pictures, I need to come visit you sometime, sweet. My wife's brother lives in Jacksonville. Imay have to see if she wants to go there for Christmas next year or so. I've always snuck away for some fishing in the past but now you got me itching to join you for some duck hunting instead. Jees, my season ended three days ago and I'm having withdrawl pains already. I may have to build a boat or carve some decoys.
 
You have outdone yourself with these photo's......simply unreal pic's of those birds being taken. I think you have found your calling my friend.

What a great days shoot for the boys and I'm sure they really appreciate your efforts to put them on a shoot for these rare and interesting birds. Congradulations.

Thanks guys.

Today’s hunt was a little more relaxed and low key. We had no company. The Bluebills are in town but still not biting, but today had a few nice surprises.

Lotsa Bills

Those crunch and fold photos are unbelieveble! the rest of them are awesome. what kind of camera are you using? It sure does a great job of stop action!
 
Were having a great time. What a fun bunch of fellows. We broke Hackey in on the Blackbelly's. They're dumb as snot and slow. He whacked a couple doubles.

Canon 20D and Canon 5D. The lenses are the ticket though. I have several L series lenses.

Dear Hitch,

A huge thank you for donating this hunt. You did a really wonderful thing for Chuck Huff. There are blessings in this for you. "I will bless those who bless you" Genesis 12, V3.

As for Big Hackey, you gotta love that boy! He took doubles? WOW!!

God Bless you and yours, this Christmas Season,
