Hunting and fishing with Mark and Dan

Dan Sheats came into town the weekend of October 28, so we decided to go hunting in Delaware on Saturday. I met up with Mark Henderson, and we went to Dan's parent's house in Odessa. Saturday morning, we headed to the top of the Leipsic river, just south of Smyrna Delaware. We saw some birds, and had one toll all morning. We came away with a hen woodduck, and a mallard drake. Fin made a great retrieve on the drake, it was a cripple and swam across the pond. Fin grabbed it against the opposite bank after swimming across the pond after him.
