Season Medley...

[Pat Gregory]

Sorry I've been awol but, been too busy hunting... After Saskatchewan, trips to North Dakota, Wisconsin and our duck club on the Illinois River. Our first layout hunt included a tribute hunt in memory of our great friend and mentor, Jim Schmiedlin. May God rest his soul...

The scaup decoy in the bottom of the third picture is from Jim's first rig. This should give each of us decoy carvers encouragement. Compare it to his later scaup in the back...

I've had the pleasure of taking several father/son teams out with more to come including a father/daughter team. I can't wait. The greenwings and pintails have been spectacular at the club... The Lord blessed us with some great days and wonderful fellowship...

Looks like all if our birds went a bit West this season....

And, looks like you figured out how to use that flag!

All the best,

Great pics!
I'm jealous, haven't shot a pintail in 10 years!

Sweet. Bring that flag.

Funny I thought you used a rainbow flag

You have more ducks in those pictures than I would harvest in ten years in Ohio.

Congrats to your great start.

It's all right to be away, Pat, if you are duck hunting! What a wonderful group of shots. I enjoyed that one of the brown ducks. Looks like you had many successful day in the field. That makes you a very fortunate man.

Best of luck in those upcoming hunts.
Al
