A day of firsts

Samantha shot her first duck!

I shot my first banded duck!
Here is Martin and Samantha with the days birds.

We ended up with a couple gadwalls, ringnecks, a golden eye, and a greenhead. We won't talk about the birds that we "should've" had.

I was telling Martin that I am going to start saving my pennies and get either a Benelli Super Black Eagle II or the Beretta Extrema II. He let me shoot his gun (a Benelli) so I could put a few shells through one in the field. Well... I think I will be getting the Benelli if it brings me the kind of luck Martins did. The first duck I shot was banded!! That's a pretty good sign if you ask me.



On a side note Guage is having a really good year. He has retreived 53 ducks to date, and I didn't even hunt him until after Thanksgiving.
