Banding 2013

Last week McCormick and I went out to Sauvies Island and Banded our first birds.  Lets just say I really wanted to have one of those bands.  Here are a few pictures from the day.

Auburn Shows Off at Training

Just got back from watching our girl, Auburn, show off her training at Copperwood Kennels with Trainer Matt Tuttle.

Matt has done a great job preparing Auburn for her possible debut at the much anticipated Canada Hunt.  They have been working together for a only short period of time.

Watch as she handles a blind bumper retrieve, knowing only where to go based on voice and whistle commands from Matt.

A New Day Dawns for Mallard Rain

With the passion for duck hunting from Dan and the technology fondness from me, we have paired together to bring Mallard Rain to Blog!

This will provide Dan his opportunity to share his love of duck hunting with friends and family with my help.

We look forward to bringing great duck news, advice, hunt updates, and all other things related to the amazing sport of duck hunting. Enjoy!!
