I just got all the cards downloaded to my computer and have a few photos formatted. I’ll keep posting to this thread until we’ve all had enough.

Best of show winners go in the pool. If I get anyones name wrong, please let me know. Lunch at the event was Black and Amber.

Best of Show with the Black Duck Sleeper is Kelly Ross. Stools Best of Show with his Goldeneye rig is Dwane Ong. As you can see they were prepared. If you know these fellows forum names...post 'em up.

Ira showed up with the Shoveler, and the 2 Widgeon he posted recently including the one with the tonque out. Photos don't do his birds justice. It is so cool how the grain shows through on them.

Ira got second with one of his Widgeon. He should of had that Shoveler out too...

Hitch, thanks for posting, you got any photos of the rigs in the pool? (Any...I crack my self up sometimes!)

I know I absolutely filled my memory card with pics at this show, although none are of the quality that Hitch was kind enough to post. I'd really like to make them available to everyone and I'd kill to get a set of Hitch's pics. Any idea of how the forum could add an FTP site to let us share pics like that? Perhaps we could pass the hat.
 
Hitch - All I can say is amazing! You truly have a gift my friend. I appreciate what you do and thank God for our new found friendship. I only hope the next time we meet, we're hunting... God bless! Pat

And same here Pat. I can't tell you when my next adventure north will be with the boat and the dogs, but you and Jim and your friends in IL will be on top of my list for stops. I look forward to it...and God Bless you as well.
