Duck Season 2012-2013

It’s almost here!  The season finally opens Saturday with much anticipation for great hunts and awesome time with all our hunters!  The ducks are here despite the unseasonable warm weather and we are thankful to be ringing in another season with the addition of some fantastic locations and lots of excitment.  A quick pre-season trip to the central flyway wrapped up just in time to finish prepping and get ready for 6 weeks of hard work and tons of fun 🙂

 

 

The ducks are here :)

The November season is in full swing!!  A huge thank you to Jim and Jimmy… always a blast to have you guys!!! We’ll post the majority of the pictures at the end of the season 🙂

First Deer for Blain :)

With duck season rapidly approaching, Karl took a breather from preparations and spent a little time in the woods with 3 fine young men.  Congratulations to Blain for getting this beautiful buck as his first deer!!!  What a fantastic shot!  We have high hopes that this initial outing will set the stage for many more to come for him.  Cannon and Jarrod… you guys are next!

Double Gobblers!

Nice job guys!!!!  A fantastic hunt to polish off an awesome time with these guys… Kelly and David – Thank you so much!!  Two nice birds taken on this beautiful morning… hard to beat days like this!!

 

2 more weeks…

This spring season is going way too fast… just 2 more weeks left!  After years of leaving his gun in the truck and working so hard to call gobblers in for everyone else… the boss decided to take one for himself this season.  A 500 pound black bear completely sabotaged the first hunt of the morning… chasing off the birds as they were headed straight to the call (That’s the second hunt his spring to be foiled by a bear!)…. Karl wasn’t taking any chances with the next opportunity 🙂

 

 

 

One for the girls :)

This spring season is proving to be a productive one! Lots of beautiful birds out there doing their thing…what an incredible display to witness!  We are so thankful to be able to spend time in the woods during this gorgeous time of year… and to watch mother nature at her finest is an amazing bonus…
