I have to agree with the guys above. I was going to cut you some slack cuz you looked young, but then again this is the best time to learn the rights & wrongs.

Dogs aren't cheap and training isn't easy or quick and not everyone lives in a place they can keep one.

I pass up alot of shots that are iffy if I don't have my dog. Killing to kill isn't cool, fun, or exciting. Grow up, do what is right.

we had two highly trained dogs, the ducks get lost easily out there in the marshy part of the bay. im never happy about losing any birds. we looked our selves for an hour after we got done. im am a very ethical hunter in every way. so please dont think i am unethical for a couple ducks that hid themselves underwater from us. nothing you can do

Every hunter on here has lost a bird or two or he has not shot very many birds. Cut the kid some slack as the big water can be hell even for the best retreiver. Also remember that bird is not waisted as other wildlife will benefit from it. Its a life cycle.

thanks man, appreciate the help here. and you are truly right. we have an insane amount of eagles out here that devour snow geese while the dog tries to retrieve them. nothing goes to waste

I think the biggest thing is that you put in the "haha" after you said you lost a couple. Everyone on here i'm sure has lost a couple I would just refrain from laughing about it. Kinda gets frowned upon. Good luck with future hunts.

If you'd have read this earlier (before he changed his original post, you can look at the bottom of his original post and it says last edited today)it had the "haha" after he said he lost a couple and now he's edited his first post so it doesn't show it anymore, so "duche bag" know the facts before you start saying sh!t. I wasn't being negative just trying to show the kid it get's frowned upon when you say "haha" after losing birds. Maybe ur the one that needs to spin on ur middle finger to relieve some tightness.

Silverbullet,

I have gotten all 3 of my snowgeese and 1 canadian with 3 inch number 3's this year so great job. It seems sometimes in the bay ducks do get in the thick reeds sometimes I think you did your best to find them and I am sure the eagles had a great meal. It is great to see the young hunters out if you ever want to go out let me know we are pretty close to eachother I think.

thank you, im glad someone like you understand how hunting in the bay is tough. i live in sedro-woolley.

and to the people arguing at eachother, please stop it. it is childish and uncalled for. i realized my mistake, and the people that agree with me know that stuff like that does not go to waste.

Eagles devoured a downed snowgoose today (not one I shot, but some people I was watching) in a matter of minutes!! took more meat than I think a lot of hunters do.

I'm not sure I see a problem with losing birds if a person counts them towards their limit. (like when you trout fish with bait... even if you catch and release, they count towards your limit). The eagles and others out there will appreciate the meal.
