With all due respect Mr. Milner, let's just nip this in the bud.

I gotta get a good camera!

Yes, you do! I consider my camera “regular hunting gear”.

I find it hard to take pics while things are going on.

Once you start, it becomes an easy habit. I will admit to missing a few “opportunities” with my camera out, but I'm getting better at avoiding those situations. In addition, the pictures are worth more than “just another duck” (or two).

I keep a journal of all my dogs' training and hunting.......with many photos mixed in. Looking back is greatly enhanced by “seeing” and "re-living" old memories. Here's a favorite day's camera work........out of many.

we all got our “cans” (including the camera man)

About one year later, I finally had the dead mount of Gunny's and Taffey's "cans". Those were from two consecutive days of unusual and spectacular diver hunting in pool 13 on the Mississippi.

Having a camera when hunting is mandatory (for me).

Troy, thanks for posting the "band" photo. It made me remember a goose band Daisy brought back one cold morning years ago. I had the camera out snapping pictures when she came up out of the water running toward me. When I reached for the retrieve, I spotted the band. That was a rush!

I was even more thrilled when I downloaded the photos.......the "keeper" was there.
