We really enjoyed the bug free spring hunt back in those days complete with big fat male mallards fresh off the US crops. Sitting quiet along the ponds and waiting until almost dark when the big guys slipped out.
I've found a few quiet back waters I'm going to sit and see what swims by.

The president of the Rocky Local brought in a beaver pelt a young artist had air brushed a wolf head on. You have to see it to appreciate it but it looks fantastic and would look even better hooped. She also does elk, deer etc.. It was a big hit at the live auction for the F&G dinner and fetched 500 bucks. We will have some for the auction at the AGM this year as well. Good use of Spring pelts. Maybe he can bring one up on the 18th for you to look at.
Brian were Spring mallards really good? Never tried it.
