You still haven't gotten your goldeneye? Wish I'd have known. I could have put you on one while I was home. Saw it three different days in the same place and could have killed it twice if I wanted to. I've got pics of it that I still need to upload to the computer.

I've chased these 'hot tips' before. I sat the better part of a rainy Saturday morning and got soaked to the skin for a ghost goldeneye that never showed. When I finally gave up, I had to go through the McDonald's drive through in my underwear. The closest thing I got to an apology from the offending tipster was to keep my hat in my lap at the drive-thru window...

Hahaha. I could've killed it from the bank where I was taking pics of M1A1 kill a pair of redheads the first time I saw it. In fact I could have shot a limit from that spot on that particular morning and would have had the goldeneye, two bluebill drakes, two ring neck drakes, and I would've had to finish up with a ruddy for the last bird. It could have been a fun hunt even in my shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops! The birds were only worried about getting away from my buddy and his paddle and paid no attention to me standing there shooting pics of them!
