First Retrieve

Youth hunt 2013. Jafet and I have been looking forward to the hunt. Jafet shot a double and Maggie got to fetch one duck. She did great and delivered to hunt. A few more hunts and she will learn the game.

Early Goose

September 1, early goose season opened. Wanting to do some scouting and possibly knocking down a goose, Tom and I went to the Willapa. This was also Maggie's first time in the hunting field. She did fine out there. She was curious and adventurous and explored the field as we tried to hunt. Mosquitoes were a problem! We didn't bring any repellent. We finally tapped out at around 10. It was just unbearable. There were lots of ducks in the area so we are looking forward opening day.
