Bird Hunting Pictures

I was scrolling through this thread and saw mention of Bon Secour and thought, “I know that place!”. My mother is from Stockton, Alabama- up the road from you. If you’re familiar with Bryant’s Landing on the Tensaw River, that was her family.
I’ve spent a lot of time up that way. Hunted most of the bays and backwaters up there. From the mid nineties to early 2000’s. Then it started getting too crowded for my taste. Surprising numbers and a great variety of ducks up that way.

Not sure what has happened to BS bay , the silt is just a guess. We could sit at our property where the river dumps into the bay and see multiple hundreds of ducks, canvasback, redhead, scaup, bufflehead, scoters and red breasted mergansers and the occasional goldeneye and puddle duck. Lucky to see a dozen of anything now.
 
We have a lot around in certain places and I always enjoy a big water diver shoot. This season was kind of weird for me on my inland sea with tough hunting. That is getting ice bound as we speak, so I'll move to the salt water for a week in November. Good times for sure.
That sounds like a good time . Where do you hunt? Of course without being too specific . I know how secretive waterfowlers are!! LOL

Can’t say this took a lot of skill, but I will say it was a damn good time. Argentina

I hunt near Wasilla, AK early in the year for puddlers, then move to interior Alaska for divers until freezeup. I don't hunt saltwater every year but usually go down towards Ketchikan.
 
Love those eagle heads, what part of Saskatchewan were you in? I’ve hunted around Dundern and Outlook.
 
Northern California high desert. My son brought a friend and we enjoyed 2 days of excellent quail hunting with a few bonus chukars.

That’s a beautiful shotgun Zephyr. It is well photographed among wonderful birds and a serious looking hunting companion. Well posted on all counts!

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
