North to Alaska

Well, not exactly North to Alaska,
but north to North Dakota.  My Navy
son joined my Army Medic son in
North Dakota for some hunting.
Wow, that's the place to hunt.

Late Arrival, Time for an Armed Recce

First Wigeon Ever

And First Mallard

 Scouting over.  Time to hunt in the AM.

Two Limits and Lots of Variety

There were so many ducks that they passed
gadwalls hoping for mallards.  First gadwall
for Navy boy too.

Now for some fine dining.

Pan fried ducks with blueberry chutney.

 The next day the weather turned super cold
super fast.  First time for breaking ice too.

The ducks were all rafted up on the
big water and couldn't be tempted
to the small pond.

But, it's North Dakota and it's
pheasant season too.

Going on the wall, for sure.

So my Army Medic son hosted and guided his
Navy brother onto a great hunt. I've got a pass
to hunt ND next year.  I think I'll take the
opportunity.
