A few pics from the weekend of 1/5 -1/7
Thursday morning my brother and I hit a horse pasture in southern Maryland for two quick geese, then picked up the GHG fullbodies and shells and headed to the airport to pick up my father on our way to the eastern shore where the next morning Pro-Staffer Tom Marvel put us on the birds with one of his fantastic guides, K.C.. This was our second year doing this father/son trip with Tom's outfit and as usual he put us on the birds. We shot a limit of Canadas and three mallards by 8:15 and then headed over to the Chester River to shoot divers, where we limited in about an hour on bluebills and were able to shoot one Can. Probably should of had more Cans, but my brother was shooting blanks out of his gun and my father had forgotten to chamber a live round, I shot my limit of 1, ha ha !. An added bonus was a greenhead that was flying with three blackheads, a quick call and he was definitely willing to stop flying at breakneck speed and join our spread and bag limit. The hand and goose photo is in there to show reference to a small bird with lighter markings than usual, thought it was a cool looking bird.
Thanks to Tom and his guys who are fantastic to be around in and out of the blind.
