Canada Hunt Pictures

[shootsa410]

Here are just a few of my pictures from last weeks Canada hunt. We killed just under 300 birds. We hunted five mornings and two evenings. On two of our mornings we killed our bring home duck limits by 7:45, 6 hunters = 48 birds. Our kills on sandhill cranes was up this year with 27. We didn't have the single snow hunt as good as last years but in the end we killed more than last year. All the ducks (majority were pintails and mallards) were taken in the fields so we didn't get out to hunt any water this year. There were three banded birds taken, a pintail, a snow and a blue. Since we had no idea who killed them we gave each of the guys one that never shot a banded bird. All in all it was the best Canada waterfowl trip so far.

Fowl for lunch and dinner, lunch and dinner, lunch and dinner. ;D

This is my third year of freelancing. It's really easy to get permission to hunt and there's almost no competition to speak of. We used all canada silos this year and about a dozen duck silos with a robo. For snows you need more decoys and we use silos and shells for them also, with three e-callers. The number of birds and ease in getting them to decoy (to include the snows) is amazing. I do believe we could have shot our limits of pintail and mallards every day. If you ever get the opportunity to go I highly recommend you do it at least once. Oh, and take lots of ammo.

Very nice! Art, you really know how to get on the birds, whether here, there or elsewhere...With your shooting skills, I'm sure you brought home plenty of shells.
