Brock's First Duck!!!!

 Last weekend we went duck hunting down on the River.  It was me, Clint, Brock, Dane, and Bones.  There weren't quite as many ducks as there have been, but there was just enough! 
Brock did great and was able to get his very first duck.  Clint had the decoys set up just perfect to get the ducks in close.  Sure enough Brock was shooting well and was able to shoot a beautiful goldeneye!

Here are some pictures of the happy hunter!
Waiting for them to come in.

 Dane adores Brock.  Brock is so patient with Dane and does so great with him.  Here they are hamming it up!
 We are so fortunate.  Bones is the perfect pup for us.  Not only is he great with the family in the house, but he is quite the hunter.  Here he is waiting for the ducks.  You can't really see it but the water was frozen into a thick sheet on his vest and his whiskers around his eyes had ice hanging off of them.  What a stud!

 I even got to shoot this time and add a couple ducks!

 Then we went to the Christmas party that Clint's work puts on each year.  They are so generous and get gifts for all the kids.  Here is Dane receiving his present.

Lastly...   Dane and Kimber.  You could never tell they are related!
