This morning I guided Dave, Cindy, Michael, Matt and Gary for ducks. We were hunting the rice near Delevan refuge and there were lots of birds around. The shooting started off red hot and slowed a bit as the morning went on but we still had a great shoot. We ended the morning with 21 birds on the strap and let plenty of others get away with just a scare! It was alot of fun and great to be killing ducks again!

The long awaited duck opener finally came and we had a blast! We had water and we had birds, lots of them!! Today I guided Brian, Mark, Beau, and Drew at the wetland. The morning started out with ducks all over the place and and ended the same way. As duck after duck fell to the guys guns we had alot of laughs and before long we had a full strap of 35 ducks consisting of mallards, sprig, widgeon, and of course some token spoons!!! As the last duck fell we began packing up our bags when I looked up and spotted 4 specks crossing the wetland, a few quick calls and the birds circled and headed our way. After a little scrambling around we had our guns loaded again and watched in awe as the 4 specks came in feet down at 10 yards!!! The guys made short work of them and we were soon slipping them onto the strap. Those specks were icing on the cake as we ended a great hunt!!!

I conducted my last salmon trip of the season today. We hit the water and headed right back to where I left off yesterday. Once again the first pass resulted in a few bites before we finally hooked up and landed our first salmon of the day! We went right back after them and were getting bit but couldn't manage to keep them on. We lost several fish and the bite slowed down so I headed up stream to check another one of my go to spots. The lures no more than hit the water and it was fish on, but before we could do much it was fish off! We made 3 more passes and landed 2 more fish before calling it a day! Not red hot but a great way to end the season with some happy clients.
