That's actually my Grandpa, Dad is just short of 70 these days.

And you're right, Grandpa never did duck hunt much because he doesn't like sitting still in the cold. In younger days he and Dad ran a string of bird dogs and would quail hunt in all weathers but just sitting wasn't his thing.

He's 91 this year and missed opening day of dove season for the first time in many years. Dad and I really tried to get him to come along but he said he just didn't feel up to it.

Maybe next year......
