Here are a couple of awesome shots Shane took of the sun rising over the decoys.

Somebody decapitated this poor mallard. 

Seth's dog Asher in the dog box.

This is what has come to be known as the A-Team.  Asher and Ace loaded up in the back of my Ranger.
And this is what has come to be known as the Gay-Team!  I guess we will have to change the room assignments for next year.  Sorry boys, I got this picture and couldn't resist.
For any of you Duck Hunters out there that don't have one of these, you need one.  Johnny brought his bird hitch to the club and has saved us several hours of cleaning birds.  Thanks Johnny!

Finally some Cold Weather!

Mother Nature finally provided us a touch of winter.  Dr. Rodney and I drove through a good snow shower leaving TN as we set out to meet our guests coming in from South Dakota.

This was the result of the cold weather.  All eight of us stayed in the blind all day to kill eight limits.  I would like to give little Blake some much needed praise for going to the house and providing our blind with lunch!  I know Dr. Rodney did the same for his blind, but you would expect it out of a good man like him.  It was a total shock when Blake volunteered!

Lots of Pintails in the area.

Now this was a real treat.  One of the boys from South Dakota was wanting a nice bull Pintail with a sprig to take home with him and ended up killing this Gadweall/Pintail hybrid.  If you look real close you will notice the Gadwall feathers and head but his rear looks like a pintail and did have a sprig.
