Some of us hunted Lake Okeechobee. Some of us hunted STA 3/4. All of us piled up the ducks. South Florida is really a fantastic destination for waterfowlers.
Instead of writing a long-winded post about this whole trip - most of which words can't totally cover anyhow - I figured we'd do a little picture diary.
So, let's get down with the Git Down.
Riding one of the main airboat paths Friday evening after a fruitful scouting mission on Lake Okeechobee. Pretty, huh?
Cole, PJ, and Drew riding dirty on the edge of the Big O.

Handsome ducks, those BWT.
I was there, too! Fine morning on STA 3/4 though I, once more, could not hit a duck if it were sitting on a fence post. Ringers, BWT, mottled ducks, shovelers...all pictured here.
The other part of our rugged group had a productive morning on the Big Lake. They shot mottled ducks, teal, a fulvous, ringers, and...
A wigeon!!!
Our mode of transportation for Okeechobee. I must have one.
Gorgeous weekend. Great hunting. Friends. Always hate to leave, but I shall return.

Real nice....Poor ducks!
Beautiful! I only just started waterfowl hunting but I already love it because of scenes like these!
Happy Hunting!

Beautiful pictures. I can sympathize with you on not being able to hit a thing, if you were shooting at teals. So fast. Can't tell you how many times I've unloaded three rounds of Bismuth, just to watch fly off. When I miss that much, teals are expensive to hunt.
Thanks for reading, all.
I'm going to have to get with you sometime and give this waterfowling business a try!
Great shots by the way!
Happy Holidays!

Lovely bag fellows! Found you through Albert's Chronicles blog, and it seems you Florida chaps have more than just sunshine!
Cheers,

Great pix! I visited family in SWFL in November and was impressed with the duck numbers. They are swamp buggy folk, though! No airboats!
