DEER,DUCKS,QUAIL,HAWKS

Garry's here and doing a fine job.PA060019The cook house is clean, supper cooked.He's supplying deer meat too. Sorry Connie, you can't have him back.I took Xander and Nate duck hunting.101_3482 We shot them up close coming into the wetlands. I was able to knock a couple down and the dogs picked them up.101_3489 Sunday Bill and I worked the dogs on quail and had a good hunt. The dogs found a covey and we each killed a couple.DSCN0729The jersey guys were down for early muzzle loader season. I wasn't home Saturday when they left but heard they got one.I haven't heard what yet.I went after my hawk Saturday to Western MD. I want to catch a female red tail. The females are bigger then the males and that gives them an advantage for rabbit hunting.We were using bow nets. DSCN0031We caught this pretty male.DSCN0052We had a female make a couple of stoops [that's a dive] but we didn't get her in the trap.
Garry's grandson, Brodie, got a deer and brought it over so he could learn how to butcher it. DSCN0066Wood duck season opened in Delaware and we've been hunting at the Taylor Farm.(Billy is out of town)DSCN0854The dogs have been doing a really good job retrieving.DSCN0857
