Ducks!

Brent decided he needed to kill something this year and if he wasn't going to kill an elk, then it had to be ducks! If you cried during the movie Bambi, I would suggest stopping reading now. :)

Brent left the house at two in the morning to drive two and a half hours away to Ellensburg and hunt along the Columbia River.

Brent said it was beautiful, but cold. 14 degrees when they set up the duck blinds only to reach 34 at noon. Even the duck retriever, Lab/Golden mix named Maverick, was wearing a vest to stay warm.

Brent did well, as the last time he hunted ducks was nineteen years ago - he shot four ducks. 

Unfortunately when he returned home, he still had the tiring duty to defeather and clean them! Diesel was so excited, he wanted to help too!

Brock was excited to hear about Brent's adventure today because I'm sure one day he'll be out there with his daddy!
