12/22/09

Went to Bear River again to try for some more goldeneyes. They won today. Don't know where the birds moved to, but they wanted nothing to do with us. We ended up killing 4 ducks and 1 merganser. There was one surprise though. We went to pick up one of the ducks I had killed and to pick up the decoys. I was shocked to see a Barrows Goldeneye. I have never seen one in the wild. It was really cool. It made a slow hunt seem a lot better. Unfortunately, now I have another bird that "needs" to go on the wall. It might have to wait a few months though, so that I can save some money and talk Annie into it.

  1. Nice pictures hon. It sounds like if you and dad do the Colorado thing this next year, Annie and I could go along and do some shopping. Sounds like a plan.
