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. :)
Haha! Love the family motto...very catchy :) That's fun that you guys could go hunting together...and the ambush sounds pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you guys do a lot of fun stuff! Suessical the Musical sounds fun and congrats on the 6 month anniversary!
By the way, I was going to tell you that I made our blog header using photoshop elements. I just picked our blog background and saved the image of it to our computer. Then just copied parts of it (like the dots) and put them on our header to tie it in and used my own digital scrapbooking stuff for the rest. Hopefully that kind of made sense. I think your header is adorable! You two are a cute couple!
Congrats on the half year anniversary!! Brad remembered the day after. :) Vanessa I think you are going to have to take hunter safety so you and Danny can compete in the wild world of hunting! :) Keep up the fun times!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time, and a successful hunt!! :) How fun!
ReplyDeleteGood job guys! I would say looks like fun, but "I'm what you call indoorsy" so waking up early to go walk in a field isn't my cup of tea. :)
ReplyDeletePoor little birds! Apparently they didn't get my memo about keeping a low profile. No really, I'm glad you had fun. Congratulations on six months!
