~ Here at Peninsula Sportsman Headquarters we’ve had the pleasure of hosting a father\/ son duo from CA for the past few days. Dad Russ presented this trip to his son RJ as a graduation gift for completing college last year ( nice Dad ! )\u00a0 Highlights of the trip–Day one RJ gets on the board early with a primo bull drake harlequin and a few other msc. greenheaded birds ( his co-workers back at Bass Pro Shops in Ca. will be envious ) It doesn’t take his Dad Russ long to take a near perfect match bird … these feather perfect drakes were brought down w\/ single shots of #4 HeviShotand they both look almost tranquilized. Quite a mix of early season ducks on the log by mid-morning.<\/p>\n

Day to brought a scoter hunt, \u00a0the birds came quick and it didn’t take long to carve out some nice drake whitewings and surf scoters from the flocks. Father\/ son each took good representatives then we watched as many, many, many more landed in the rig … luckily some black and white made a show with some of the first buff flocks and a really nice Barrow’s drake dumped in as a capper.\"freehling5<\/a><\/p>\n

Three days hunting with these guys was a fun as it gets. Great company, and positive attitudes even when the weather shifted w\/ 50kt winds yesterday and we were “forced” to hunt from the beach. Some really nice birds taken on their trip, their taxidermist back in CA is going to be busy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
