A rare beauty for me

Phil,
Nice bird, you get that this morning?

I saw one duck this morning. and a few geese, very few. I did have a single goose swing around as I called. Set his wings and dropped right into the decoys as I shot him. Didn't run my heater. Even sat there without my coat for the first hour. Had a buck deer stare at me from 25 feet away.
 
Yep, nothing better than a big heavy drake greater scaup in hand. Well, maybe 3 in hand!
 
Nice bird. That is my favorite duck to hunt. Chubby dive bombers coming into the spread really get the heart beating. Too bad we don't see them in the numbers we used to.
 
Phil, that is a gorgeous duck. Congrats on the scaup. I can tell you that I have taken two of them in my life time when I was a junior in high school a few years ago.
