this mornings suprise

[Colin Fitzpatrick]

got to hunt on the bay for a few hours this morning and was rewarded with 4 bufflehead and my first goldeneye! he dropped right in as we were about to pack up...good thing we stayed those few extra minutes. great morning on the water!

Congrats on the Golden eye!

Looks like a wall duck to me.

 

[Colin Fitzpatrick]

Way to go Colin,,its sure nice to see a young buck taken up waterfowling
and i love the gun pic,,,,
my beretta looks the same with paint on herand camo tape stuff ,they didnt have camo paint from the factory back in the day..
and anything shining got painted ,I bought it it was like new and grabed a can of paint and wala ,,some of the fellas gasped in horror....i just laughed ...boats and rocks and sand will make any fancy gun look like crap in one season so ya mite as well paint her so the ducks cant see it...

all the best

Shermie...

I was just thinking how lucky you are to have so many firsts yet to go! Way to be, Colin. That is a magnificent looking goldeneye!

Congrats Colin, one of my favourite ducks there. Nice to see people still hunting, my season's been over for more than two months already!
