I was looking at some pictures from 3 to 4 years ago. I hope you will enjoy them. Makes me think of how lucky I am to be alive and be surrounded by God's beauty.

I had just taken my 4th teal on this morning when this is what I saw 5 minutes later.
My Lord, I love her so much!
I keep telling Bev, how much I hate having to go duck hunting before I cut firewood each day.
Some of Pepper's pups.
What a thrill to have a pair of juvenile Trumpeter swans land in my spread.
I've got my eye on you!
Yes, even though the western diamondback rattlesnake frightens me, they are still a beautiful creature.
It will give you goose bumps when thousands of them fly over you right off the deck. Then when they pass and you realize that you weren't hit with a barrage of droppings, you then know you were darn lucky!
A bonding pair of sandhills
Some days a guy will get lucky. This flock of sprigs came in after I had already taken my one pintail for the day. The oversized decoys on the far left on the sand bar are 35 yards away. Which one would you pick out to shoot?
Finally, in the life of a duck hunter there have been so many days where I have never shouldered my shotgun. After the day was over and I thought about it, I realized how fortunate I had been to be where I was. Not many can share the solitude, soak up the environment like a duck hunter can and then walk away totally satisfied.
