Hey Folks

I picked up a 1DX and as luck would have it the weather turned nice and the light was in my favor. Had a good day in the blind.

Thanks Moose, you'd didn't get any Snowy's this year?

I guess you just had to deal with the GGO then :)

Wow...great shots. The last one being my favorite, followed by flying off the post shot, but they are all awesome!

There have been a few around the Duluth area and I recently heard of one about sixty miles south, but nothing local.

Very nice how is that 1DX working out? Is it as good as they are saying?
