I was going through pics and I thought I'd put some up. Not all duck related, but more or less should be interesting content.

Skeet had his first retrieve on a duck back in December at just one year old (he had a bunch of pheasant and grouse retrieves in October), a nice drake woody that dropped right in to the stool...

Can't forget the old man, here with a drake black...

Here is a shot I liked from an inland lake I hunt sometimes...

Black Beauty on a cold morning....

Here is a pic of a real cool event. I shot this deer with the muzzy on a high ridge and he went 50 yards down the "wrong" side, which means a really steep hillside/cliff. I gutted him and got him back up on the ridge and walked out a 1/2 mile to meet Jen and Gus who came to help me drag him out. Anyway, when we got back to the deer, Gus was looking at the bullet wound and asked where the bullet went after the deer. To that question I answered into the ground, since I had waited a bit on the shot for a good backstop. Anyway, about 30 seconds later Gus says... "Dad, is this your bullet?". He found the bullet laying in the leaves, having went through the deer, into the ground and apparently bouncing back out completely spent. Bullet was about 10 yards from the point of impact...

Rifle deer in Dec...

Bow deer in Sept. Deer season was very slow and the 2 1/2 year olds payed the price for that. :).

Todd, I like the truck and camper setup. did you ever get the LED lights for the inside of the truck? Also, I hope you have a jerk string for that dead calm water at the inland lake spot. Great pics on the deer. Good eating right there. Trip.
 
Tod, Great photos I gotta see that part of the country some day, the east coast Brant pictures from the other day were nice.

Have a great 2012 !!

Thanks Brian, I don't know about turkey this year... Our "out West" trip is going to seriously cut into it - we will see.

After last year, I'm sure Jed is more than ready.

Thanks Boz. It has been a good season, I've spent a whole lot of time in the woods and on the water. We have a few more days of duck left and some geese after that, but I'm content.

No Trip, I haven't done anything with the truck, other than put the ball mount into the hitch :). Once season is over I can take a breath and step back and get to the important things I've been putting off :).

I've seen your part of the country Fred and you aren't missing a thing :).
 
Nice pictures Tod. Great story on the muzzleloader hunt! Looks like an enjoyable fall season on both fowl and fur (albeit, hair). Well done.
 
That's a nice look back Tod, thanks for sharing. The picture of Gus and the deer is nice... well so are the rest but that is nicer.
I even see a bit of an artistic touch in a couple of them. Is that right side of your brain taking over? :)

Neat post. Looks like you've had some fun this fall/winter! What are the odds of your boy finding that hunk of metal?!!! That is great! I'm sure he'll remember that for a while. I like your new setup too! Looks like you have the sway control/stabilizer for the trailer too? I put that on mine and what a difference! I can't even tell there's a trailer behind me.
 
Tod,
Awesome photos. Esp Skeet picking up his first. Great looking deer this year. Looks like the Freezer is full.

Any movement on the bigger boat?

Nice pics Tod. Really like the lake shot and the deer pics. Not a thing wrong with either of those deer.

Our season was slow to and I settled for a decent2-1/2 year old as well.

Cool about the bullet. It that an all copper Barnes bullet? If so how do you like them. I have heard good things about them.

Next time I'll try my hand at a sonnet to go along with the pics :).

Freezer is doing good, needs some clams right now - good tides coming up :).

Bigger boat is just sitting. I busted my ass this summer to get through my list so I can start. I'm in good shape to start, I know once I start it will be hard to do anything else, so I want my slate clean. Soon, but I've been saying that for a couple years.

Good eyes Jode. Yes a Barnes T-EZ. I've shot exactly one deer with them, so you could say I'm an expert :). Bullets do shoot well and killed this deer dead pretty well (I would have preferred that it didn't run down hill). I've been shooting all Barnes bullets out of my rifles and I really like them.
