Well, the 2012-2013 PA Waterfowl Season has certainly been interesting. Moments of sheer panick followed by hours of empty skies and inappropriate jokes. The weather finally started to cooperate in things started happening in our favor.. Just thought I'd share a few of our triumphs for those of you who appreciate some photos.

First Pintail ever killed on our home turf...My friend Known on HPA as "RIGG-A-MORTIS" has had quite the year on duck species... You may remember him from such posts as "Mandarin Duck", as well as harvesting several other species uncommon to our area this year. Saturday his streak continued on..

Six man black duck limit..

By the way my dog Stout is a 5 year old pure bred American Black Lab with all documentation, paperwork, and certifications. I am interested in breeding him. PM me if anyone is interested.

Way to go guys!

 

[RIGG-A-MORTIS]

Hahaha. Sprig-a-mortis. I guess "BlacksOnly" or "BlacksGobbler" would be a little misleading. People would prob expect a post about a kardashian sister.

Congrats on your shooting spree...Wish I was there instead of sunny Florida...Rigg-a-mortis walls will be full of mounts..Good job

You call that a bad season? I can't wait to see what you consider a good season.

Thanks guys.

I didn't mean to suggest that we have had a bad season, because we certainly did not. It just takes until the end of December anymore for any kind of freeze up, so our November and December can be a little slow at times.

Also, we rarely have so few Canadas to hunt through November and December. Usually when the ducks are absent, we can at least target honkers and do well during those times.

Not this year, we had a huge push in October (when we can't hunt them) and then that was it. Geese just showed up in numbers about a week or two ago.

Yes we always seem to find a way to get on some black ducks..Thanks man

And I was starting forget how good we have had it here these past few weeks until I see the pictures. I for one appreciate all of those, some good memories on each of those hunts. That picture of sunrise in the marsh takes the cake for me though, does not get any better than that hunt.
