This picture was takes as we were getting off the water after Jackson's first duck hunt. Jackson quickly found his home on the bow of the boat. We had a beautiful morning with the water to ourselves just outside New Prague. Jackson was a Champion.

I was out in the field with Jackson. We were not hunting but just getting time working the fields getting ready for hunting season. We stopped for a minute and he simply sat and waited to keep working.

watching birds intently

Last fall before lunch Charlie jumped this partridge, it was a quick shot and I wasn't sure I hit him. After about 10 minutes of circling the area, his brother Gabe found it 30 yards away on the opposite side of a creek. Only one pellet found its mark.

Myself laying in a blind while my Girl Dolce stands guard over the decoys. This was her last duck hunt in 2012. She Passed away over the 4th of July weekend at her favorite place, the cabin.

This was taken after our red lab puppy got his first taste of the outdoors and the the endless grass fields that he will one day be hunting in. He had so much fun he refused to come inside and instead waited outside until it was time to go again.
