Yes...that is now our family motto when it comes to hunting birds. Danny and I went home this past weekend so that Danny (and I) could go out with Brad to hunt for some pheasants and ducks. We headed out before the sun came up and got to see a really beautiful sunrise!
Well, the hunt was successful! They were able to get two mallards and a pheasant. The coolest part of the hunt was when we were just walking along the creek and a huge flock of mallards, at least 50 of them, flew over us, heading south. We stopped and watched them fly over us and circle around for a few minutes before landing. That was when our plans changed. Danny and Brad decided to quietly 'ambush' the ducks. We did get close to the ducks and they came flying up out of the trees. Both Danny and Brad shoot all 3 rounds at these ducks. When the smoke cleared (haha) and the ducks were gone, we found a drake and a hen mallard in the creek. It was pretty fun!
After a while, we decided to walk back to the truck, so we walked up the creek. Just as we were getting close, Brad scared up a pheasant. Brad was able to edge out Danny in getting the shot, but it was still pretty cool to see the pheasant fly up. Here are some pictures of our prizes!
Fun stuff! Danny also bought some duck decoys and a duck call for future duck outings...Danny's pretty excited to go hunting! Hopefully there will be more ducks in the months to come.
Here are just a few more things that we've been up to:
--Saw Seussical the Musical
--Celebrated our 6 month anniversary last night!
--We voted
--Went to an IFT conference in Salt Lake (it's a convention/meeting for Food Technologists so we went to get some networking for Danny; it was pretty cool!)
That's pretty much it for us...sorry we are kind of boring. Hopefully we will be more exciting this week. :)
