started duck hunting this year... WHAT a blast, im glad i had my German Wirehaired Pointer to help me when they fell in the tall grass. Its also alot of work with all the decoys, canoe, gun, ammo, dog, etc. its all worth it though
I am a died in the wool true blue archery hunter. But if I had to give up duck hunting or Archery hunting I am not sure I would still have a bow. It is some of the most fun I have ever had. And working the dogs is a blast.
Let me know when your ready to get a good lab.
