Judy Rhodes wearing her Ernest Hemingway ONOS sunglasses in the duck blind on Texas Coast! Looks like she clearly had a great day of duck hunting! How was your weekend?

William is on here for the deer he took last season, but this is his first buck.  Really didn't start well - it was so hot that the nearby town ran out of ice (we used 230 lbs in 5 days to keep the meat cool).  We saw this buck the first afternoon out, but let him alone for a couple of days just in case he got wind of us.  We crawled under a tree and made a makeshift ground stand out of duck blind material.  This buck came out on cue and William shot...he didn't have his barrel above the blind material so all I saw were material fibers for the first few seconds.  Fortunately it didn't hurt the bullet trajectory and after tracking a little the hootin' and hollerin' began!  Didn't even need the corn you see in the background of the picture.

I found this on Field & Stream.  This 6 year old is in a duck blind for the first time.  What a great shot!

Passing it on to the next generation.

not many.  I'm usually in a deer stand when the few we get come through.  I built a water blind the other day though.  I'll see if I can get some.  I'll post a Blue Wing and a Black Bellied Whistling Duck next week.
