A First...

Well who has a bird dog that doesn't hunt...well I don't hunt...yet...but I try to keep Finn as birdy as possible. We set out this Am for Finn's (and my) first duck trip...

Season opened back up today for 8 days, so Conklin had room for two, and we made our way to the lake front. Cold was the flavor of the day, and there was lots of it...

With rough water, decoys weren't an option, but that didn't stop us from getting one shot off at a quacker. Saw a few more but nothing worth shooting for...and with temps hovering at about 20, Finn wasn't getting wet, so no auto-retrieve...
Over all a great morning...cold but feels good to get home at 10AM feeling refreshed...

Some pictures of the adventure...
