Every party, under the sign.

These are our own photographs, taken over many seasons: geese on the rail, snow on the hedgerow, a Lab who would rather be working.

Behind the pictures

The hunts these came from.

Every party that hunts with Tidewater Guide Service gets its picture taken under the carved goose sign before it heads home. The geese on the rail come from corn and bean fields in Talbot County, the ducks from its ponds, creeks and waterways, and the bucks from woods that are scouted and rested between hunts.

For more than a century, the Eastern Shore has been home to some of the world’s finest duck, goose and deer hunting. These photographs are a small part of that, taken over many seasons with Rennie Gay.
