Well we got back in town yesterday after a week of waterfowl hunting. We started off in the Northern part of Indiana and stayed there the entire week. We battled some crazy weather with 50-60 mph winds, snow, ice, and 20 below windchills. We thought the birds would be pushing down from the cold fronts but the large groups never showed up. I was hunting with a couple of guys from Central Indiana Delta Waterfowl and Kevin (uglyducking). We also had a few of Kevins friends with us on a couple of hunts. We took down a few dozen birds and I was also able to take a Bufflehead that I'm getting mounted by Shane Smith. Its always fun to spend time with great friends. Also Kevin had us over for dinner, we had deer hindquarters and straps smoked. The only thing I could say was WOW . Thats Kevin!!!

Glad you had a good trip, TK! Even with this crazy weather. Congrats on the Bufflehead. Chase and me thought we were looking at a Bufflehead pair the other day, but after going home and looking up some pics, they were actually Hooded Merganser. We did some scouting last week at Hillenbrand and the birds just weren't there like his "source" had said. We found one pit that had around 15 green heads and the pair of mergansers. I've seen pictures of Shane Smith's work before. He's an unbelievable artist. Be sure and post pics when you get it back. I'm guessing that when you send something to a world champion taxidermist, it's not gonna be back in a couple months?
