I went out yesterday morning for the southern opener here and never shot the gun!!! It was terrible!! I did go this morning and managed to harvest a mallard drake at a different spot. It was also the first retrieve for Bailey, my lab.It was funny, because he wasn't 100% about what to do, but after he finally got it,I threw itout a couple of times and he had no problems, but didn't want to stop!!! Can't wait for the next hunt with him.I also shot a goose Wednesday night, but no more ducks to boot.
