did I shoot a gem?

C'mon dan z...we all know you painted those wing tips, they're still dripping wet paint, haha. No but serious, awesome shot. How does that even happen?

the sad part is I did not know the tips were white till I had the breast all picked, then turned it over and saw white tips, never thought I would have EVER mounted a mallard but this one would have been the one to mount IMO. every feather after that point was a god d^M it why did I not notice it.

that is the coolest looking mallard ive ever seen!

could have done a mount where you wouldnt see the belly

thats a very unique duck

current, spring, river? How do you keep a spot open when theirs 4+ inches of ice? how do you launch your boat? how do you keep a pocket of open water in front without it freezing?

AS HOMER SAYS IT DOH DOH DOH!

do your homework and thier is open water closer to you than you think. I know of a few lakes that are still huntable. not a river, not a spring, and no current. just regular ol lakes I do bust to get to open water. and if I am able to break a pocket and hwave it blow away I try and make it big enough so it dont freeze overnight. going everydday to same spot a few days in a row helps too..

here is todays hunt. man that wind was bitter. missed on a flock of mallards was chasin decoys. and seen more than yesterday. I know its not as good as yesterdays pix but this is a photto gallery so here they are.

My vote for duck hunter of the year goes to DanZ!!!!!!!!!!

come on, everyone knows its Jeff Foiles!

considering I drive 90% less than jeff I would think I do pretty darn good, and me and the border patrol guys have lots in common I never leave the state and on top of that I hunt all public water!

looks like you took a ride through the park and run it over with your truck

I think there are many of these guys who do the same, I could be wrong though.

I'm one of them, have not shot a out of state duck or goose, only in MN! this year was a good year for me as well

I also hunt strictly MN.
Quack- I will be going to school up in NW MN starting next fall and have no one thats serious about waterfowling to hunt with. I have private land connections (in some great area's for goose hunting, canada's & snows) up there also. Its so far away I havent been able to get up there but since I will be living in that area I will hit it hard in the upcoming season. If your interested email me.
