Great pictures guys. Love the full color birds --- especially that cinammon teal.
Have not posted this years adventures. I added a pup so at 4 months he was out with us Duck hunting and managed his first retrieves on water. At the start I would only send him on teal. Then Gadwall and on...
Nothing wasted on a walk about with dogs in the outdoors and not smelling gunpowder. Still a great day and I have experienced a few similar. Nice shotgun.

Shrapnel - great pictures. Nice to see the generations getting out together and enjoying the outdoors. Love the wood on those old guns.

Playing in the snow -- It is a bit of a drive for us now with the northern sites closed and we had to deal with a section of icy highway. With weather changing I am not sure if this will be our last pheasant hunt of the year or not. Finn did very well finding 4 birds buried in deeper cover...
Nice - great to see the whole family out. Great family picture.
I understand what you say on big game -- it is like a constant itch. Luckily we have an overlap season in the south part of the province so this past week harvest a deer and a couple of pheasants. I hope to do the same again...
