Solo hunting. 2 birds in the bag, 3 miles from the truck in waist high grass. 3rd bird finally gets up, and…

Desperate times….

The only time I ever tripled on blue-winged teal, I simply waded right into the pond with no regard for the water in my tall rubber boots. I was too happy to care. But those were bluewings in September. If it had been greenwings in December it might have been different.

I hear yah there. This was definitely a polar plunge. Got it done though…

Sometimes I’ve thought about bringing a fishing rod with a top water lure with treble hooks for those no wind days

What’s super funny, is I actually shot him right on the edge and before I could get to him, the wind blew him in the middle… then cut out. Stared at him for 10-15 min hoping the wind would pick up again before accepting my fate.

Have definitely considered the top water plug. Might look into rigging up a compact hand reel with one.

I’ve definitely been looking. Wife’s allergic and a clean freak, and we spend a good bit of time in a trailer. Under 30lbs, hypoallergenic, non shedding is a hard combo for a sporting dog.
