    Sorry guys, not much time for a report…..but like everyone else we had a great spring! Low morning was 7, high day was a 5 man SD limit of 100. Didn’t get to hunt as much this year as we would have liked….but life happens! We were in SD through last Tuesday and birds were getting pretty skinny.

    Got a new camera….here are some pics!

    I’ll have some sweet video and ground breaking spread photos up on our White Rock website in the coming weeks. Look for that!

    Two bands this year.

    Hybrid Snow/Canada cross!

    100% DIY…..although my dad says we are pretty good guides! For some reason he always seems to be along for the “BIG” days…..maybe we need to bring him more often?

    Awesome stuff Jake! I’m so jealous. Can’t wait to see your video and hear more about an amazing shoot.

    I was surprised by all the goose killin’ decoy trailers we saw along 212. I never saw anyone hunting them in the past.

    I recognize those red cars! Always wondered what the story is behind that collection.

    My old baseball coach has family in Clark. I guess it’s some dude’s form of art. He’s been working on all the stuff in that field for many years. Last weekend my daughters were amazed how anyone would let their car sit in water like that.

    Awesome pics I really like the one overhead with the bird going over backwards I’m assuming dead.

    What camera did you end up getting?

    Awesome pics, makes me want to go again and again..

    The T2i is too darn nice for the blind, my wife would never let it happen. I’ll keep looking at your pics instead.

    Jake, how long does it take you guys to get set up in the am? How many dekes do you put out?

    Depends on the field, but usually 1 1/2- 2 hour set up from unlocking the trailer to guns loaded…..tearing down is quicker, usually under 1 hr.

    We run around 1200 decoys.

    Here’s a cool spread tear down video we put together from this year.
