We stay and hunt on Bruce's farm near the small town of Roscoe.
It's always nice seeing Bruce - he was combining corn.There were 7 of us hunters and 9 dogs this year. We go for the pheasant hunting - it's always good.
This was a wet year for the area, so there was a lot of water and that made for a lot of ducks. I had never seen so many ducks at one time. We hunted a flooded corn field and had lots fun with the ducks.I bought a roto duck in Aberdeen. 
We put a blind up and shot ducks.
Janey and Katie, George's lab, did the retrieves.
Janey has one here that played the diving game. 
Most all the ducks were mallards.
Bill shot the only goose .
It's a speckled goose. Hunting can be hard work, we would shoot ducks at first light. Then go in town to the Prairie Rose to get breakfast. At 10 we started pheasant hunting. We would hunt till we got our 3 birds and then go back to the house and clean them. 
We did take a trip to a ranch, Bieber Red Angus Ranch.
Steve is looking for a bull for his herd at home. 
Craig Bieber, the owner, was happy to show us some of the bulls.
They use the by product of making Ethanol from corn in the feed mix. George is checking it out.
For dinner we usually went back to the Prairie Rose. On Halloween night, the locales looked like this. 
After dinner we went back to house and some of us would have a few drinks. 
George always falls asleep at the table.
We hunted for 5 days and headed home. The dogs had a good vacation. 
Here are a few more pictures from the trip:
