That's how I started duck hunting and it's been fairly expensive since.....
I love it though. I love the stalk. How close can we get before they know we're there. Sometimes we'll just sit and watch behaviors beforetheytake wing.Pick out exactly which bird you want to shoot or not.
I don't like to clean divers so I don't pull the trigger on them anymore. Hacked my old dog off but he would forgive me as soon as he got a retrieve.

Geese are harder this way. Darn tattle tale mallards get up first and rat you out.
New pup this year. Can't wait for early teal season.
