With the "Expert" title clearly in hand I must take this opportunity to wish the other members of the HOY7 Hunting Team good luck this coming Sunday. They will attempt to take my title away by shooting to kill. Once again, 'good luck'.
As you may know I recently returned from the great state of Oregon where I had traveled to visit with my old friend and team member Fred G. We were able to hunt three consecutive days and planed to make the best of them because the season in Oregon is quickly coming to an end. The first day we were off to the Old New spot, an easy walk and good opener. We hiked out early and set up just as the sun broke the horizon. Of course we know the Old New spot better than any other hunters ans were able to secure the best spot by crossing a waist high water bar and traveling around to the far side. With the wind at our backs and the sun behind us as well we knew our spot was the best.
It took the better part of the day but some ducks did finally fly into our spread. I wasted no time in folding the Merganser that tried fly by. Unfortunately that was the only real action of the day. The picture below shows how gorgeous of a day it was out on the mighty Columbia and the duck that brought my "Expert" total to 6 ducks, an almost insurmountable lead. Stay tuned to hear about the rest of our days.
