dukxdogDuck Opener
Today was our season kickoff. Very early if you ask me. I'd prefer opening mid October to let the birds feather out. Birds are young and eclipsed making it very difficult to pick out drakes. We passed on lots of shots not knowing if hen or drake. Worked out in our favor. Mike and I got 14 birds off my backyard pond.
Rush did great and dove below surface to snag two cripples which dove on him. I love to see this aggression in a retriever.

crbutlerCongrats on a great opener. I'm jealous.
Great looking pooch. Good job with him.
From the look of it, the teal are already south of you?

dukxdogNever see teal on this pond. They are on the river and marshes. I see Greenwings through January. Lots of teal in Utah too.

L. David KeithI like that pile! We won't open at home until the last of November, so I'm heading back to our spot in NE in a few weeks. Fine looking retriever!
