Memorable Hunt: I had just got a new puppy by the name of rocky and it was time to see what he was made of. My girlfriend Kimberly wanted to see what the fuss was all about so we all took a ride up to Colusa East side to hunt one of the EDGE Properties. It was foggy and I knew the birds would be lost on Delevan. Shoot time arrived with birds in flight. They were lost and we were going to cut right into them. Pairs of mallards funneled into the field, followed by widgeon, gadwall, teal, specks and snows. With my new set of Edge Duck calls, I called into the birds. About a box of shells later, a tired dog, and an awestruck girlfriend I had killed 5 Ducks and 7 Geese.
