![]() The second segment of the duck season here in Virginia opened up and it did so with a BANG in small beaver swamps and ponds. We heard that the big water shooting was not too great in many places, but we did well in a swamp for wood ducks. Our dog, Baily, was hard charging and retrieved two ducks we downed and then located and retrieved a third that we thought was able to get away. It is so nice to have a dog with a great nose to find your birds for you. We cannot wait to eat the wood ducks roasted with applesauce on them!

I remember that day.....it was a blast! I was very proud that Baily( my yellow lab) did so well when recovering the downed birds.
