My buddy got a draw lottery number for the McNary Waterfowel Preserve in the Tri-cities. We had three newbies out there that have never been duck hunting. It was a learning experience to say the least. We had a great time and even got a duck down. My buddy flushed a rooster pheasant and we put him down as well. Pretty good for not having a dog. 

Widgeon? Looks like a pretty bird either way, and that rooster is gorgeous

we are pretty sure its a hen widgeon

Those are some nice looking birds. Good job

My buddy got this MASHER over the weekend. Last day of the rifle season I believe. 

nice job on the birds!! pheasant is good eating!! mmmmm!

josborne tell your friend congrats on the nice muley!!!

Congrats to all.  Its always fun to see everyone's successes.

Went out for another duck hunt on the Chehalis river. My friend got a wood duck hen, a pheasant hen and i got a green wing teal. Even had time that weekend for some chum fishing. Has any one else been out this year? Got late archery hunt coming up. Cant wait.

I take it you got the Hen on a release site? The hunting was pretty good on or about the Chehalis this season. The landowners have been a bit more apt to let hunters on their property than in the past.

Yeah we were next to a release site hunting on the river and spotter her. The guide had a tag for that day luckily. I hunted up near anacortes for ducks on one of the last weekends of the season and we saw a ton of ducks nothing close enough to shoot though. I went to a corn field owned by the state on the last evening i could hunt for the season and had some luck. Two Hen Mallards and a Drake. Right after shooting light there must have been 2,000 birds coming into the corn to feed. I have some crazy videos from that flight.
