Yes and no LOL .. We the group we hunt with are still at it. We lost one of our crew this past away year. So things are a ?? this year. I call myself the clean up guy. I normally take a 10 gauge and I hate for the birds to get away or lost. Buddy has a good dog for retrieving but hard to catch up with the ducks if still swimming. So I wait to see if the heads come back up then finish them if I can. I still like to be out in the field. But Deer season is a full on go if weather is good.
