Holly Heyser: January 2015
http://hollyheyser.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. About women duck hunters - a column for Shotgun Life. Happy New Year, everyone! I had a couple things happen last year during duck hunts that got me thinking about the state of women duck hunters. You can check out my Shotgun Life column about it here. And I'd be very interested to here your thoughts, either in comments on the column (it uses a Facebook interface) or back here. 169; Holly A. Heyser 2015. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Holly Heyser: November 2014

Sunday, November 23, 2014. Novice Women's Duck Hunt - a video slideshow. For the fourth year in a row, my friend Judy Oswald and I have organized a fantastic event for women: the Novice Women's Duck Hunt. It starts with a day of training . no, wait. It started with a night of drinking, and THEN we started training the next day: shooting instruction, waterfowl ID, calling and plucking/gutting. The next morning, we all head off to a cluster of three duck clubs in the Upper Butte Basin. For four and a half ...

Holly Heyser: December 2014
http://hollyheyser.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 12, 2014. The View from a Hunt: on Altruism and Ruddy Ducks. It was a hunt where nothing seemed to be going right. My calling had helped hook three mallards on their way to some rice fields, only for me to whiff when they floated over our blind. I'd received the supreme blessing of having two Aleutians randomly fly super low over me and my buddy Charlie in open water, only to hear that worst of all noises: click. After Charlie finished setting up the decoys, we settled back into tule pat...

Holly Heyser: May 2015
http://hollyheyser.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2015. Resurrected: My photography website. I'm very excited to unveil my new photography website - Holly Heyser Photography. My old food photography website shut down a couple weeks ago because the hosting company, BluDomain, didn't send me a bill, ignored multiple emails I sent asking them for a bill, then shut my site down because I didn't pay the bill. Brilliant! This happened at a pretty difficult time. Hank. The "new" combined site is hosted by SmugMug, which has always had outstandi...

Holly Heyser: Baiting, sluicing and other no-no's ... or are they? A column for Shotgun Life.
http://hollyheyser.blogspot.com/2015/07/baiting-sluicing-and-other-no-nos-or.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Baiting, sluicing and other no-no's . or are they? A column for Shotgun Life. United States: Baiting ducks, illegal. Sluicing ducks, legal (but frowned upon). And on the other side of the Equator in New Zealand? Hunting in another country is a great opportunity not just to hunt new animals, but to think about laws and ethics and beliefs - why they exist, what benefit they have. That, my friends, is the subject of my latest column in Shotgun Life. 169; Holly A. Heyser 2015. Holly ...

Holly Heyser: April 2015
http://hollyheyser.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. A lesson in duck identification - a column for Shotgun Life. I've heard some people say you have no business hunting ducks if you can't accurately identify the species you're shooting at every single time. Obviously that's ideal, but it's not very real-world. I've hunted with plenty of seasoned veterans who weren't sure exactly what species it was - was it a gadwall or a hen wigeon that just zipped through the spread in the pre-dawn light? 169; Holly A. Heyser 2015. Flank feathe...

Saturday, August 1, 2015. My bird of regret - a column for Shotgun Life. You never know what's going to capture your imagination the most when you hunt strange birds in a strange place.

Holly Heyser: July 2015
http://hollyheyser.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 6, 2015. You should see what this duck hunter is doing for ducks! Got any stuff I can film this week? I asked my coworker at California Waterfowl. Yeah, wanna go out with this wheat farmer tomorrow? I said. I actually had no idea that what this guy was doing would bring me to tears, repeatedly, as I worked on this video. If you care one shred about ducks, ducklings and giving back to nature, I hope you'll check it out. People are doing great things out there! Click on this link. For four and...

Holly Heyser: The measure of a season - a column for Shotgun Life
http://hollyheyser.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-measure-of-season-column-for.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. The measure of a season - a column for Shotgun Life. I am a little obsessed with measuring my duck hunting results - keeping a body count. After eight seasons, though, perhaps it's time to outgrow that habit. But what else is an OCD girl supposed to do? Find out in my latest column. 169; Holly A. Heyser 2015.
