tucker301 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 sdk, What kind of dog is that? Is this Ulee (sp?)? Quote
sdkidaho Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 GSP - German Shorthaired Pointer Uli - pronounced ooo-lee I haven't used him to retrieve ducks. I think he would, but by the time waterfowl season gets here it's usually pretty cold and I think I'd just freeze him out if I took him with me. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 GSP - German Shorthaired Pointer If I had seen just the head and face I would have guessed chocolate lab. I'm more used to seeing the full-body speckle on GSP's. 'course, I don't see a lot of GSP's. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Wildfowler, thanks for the contribution. Our first general duck split opens here Oct. 9th - 11th. I'm hoping to go out all three days. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 We had a good early split opener. Number 10 was knocked down, but we were unable to recover him (drake woodie). Thought the dog had it on the other side of the creek, but she didn't come back with it and a ground and water search turned up nothing. I hate to lose one, but it happens. Quote
IdahoDucker Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Nice but I think I'm going to cry. Should be another excellent season up in Idaho but I'm stuck working way down here in Phoenix until mid November and then it looks like I'll be sent to Los Angeles of all places. Maybe I'll get a week or two off between projects. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 That's a tough situation. I imagine there aren't too many ducks around Phoenix and LA, except for parks and golf courses. I hope you get some breaks and the chance to do some hunting. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 And here are some of them served up for Sunday supper! Quote
TMAC Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Tucker, its amazing how much color your birds are showing in your part of the country. Up here most the early birds look pretty drab compared to the ones you shot. Our wood duck are just starting to show color, and the teal are basically brown with a few splotches of blue or green. Nice work. Quote
swaterhouse Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 If your duck has any resemblance to liver you are over cooking it. My experiance is mainly with rice or grain feed puddle ducks or rice feed ring biils or scaup. Grill the breasts med. rare like a good steak and I think you will be happy. Quote
FranchiFowler Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I know that one on the right is prettier than half of the ducks I've seen on the wall. That's a pretty good preseason start Quote
tucker301 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 A couple of the woodie drakes got considered for mounts, but I decided to not spend the $$$ right now. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 Mudhen, When are we going to see some California birds on this thread? Quote
FranchiFowler Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 i hear ya its hard to spend the money on the mounts Quote
TMAC Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Get ready for the migrating birds to come down south. In Wisconsin we saw a lot of birds come through the last 4 days, it looks like the cold weather up north is starting to push them down. We had a great weekend hunting; nice mallards shot with a mixed bag of, teal, widgeon, divers, and a few geese. Quote
Webfoot Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Our north zone opens this weekend but I usually don't go. Too many hunters and not enough places to go. That and my son's first birthday is this weekend...Man how times flies. Quote
TMAC Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I speculate our southern zone season will another 3 weeks before freeze up or all the birds have made their way through. Myself and friend killed about 40 ducks and 4 geese in the last 4 days, just lots of big fat targets out there and some days they are even kind of dumb. Quote
kafasi Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 doves with charles daly , waterfowls with my new m2 Quote
tucker301 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 Nice shooting! What are your limits on ducks and doves, if there are any? Quote
