Duck Hunt with Billy and Kevin

This morning was pretty normal starting out. It was about 33 around 5 am when we set out to go to Cannons Creek landing to hunt. I went along with Billy and Kevin to get some pics of the hunt. The water was low and the wind started to pick up some while getting the boat out, so we went to a small cove just outside of the river joining the backwater to stay out of the wind. The sun rise was breath taking, and the decoys looked beautiful in the water that had a pale blue hue to it at sunrise.

Then we waited for the hunt to begin.

We saw several gaggles of geese just out of shooting range, but i enjoyed hearing Billy talking back to them as they flew by.

We had some mallards go by....and

Then after we had some chill time, a fisherman decided to come along side of us and fish. After Billy spoke to him he decided to go on the other side of us and harass another set of duck hunters. Then once they moved away from the fishermen, he decided to come back to us. By 10:30 we had enough and gathered our gear. Then we came around the bend, and hit white caps on the water.

Just in case you are wondering what I look like in my gear......

This is why I'm the photographer
