I am a duck hunter first and foremost, nothing in my outdoor life is better than 30 mallards making the final approach, lab quivering with a vintage SxS in my hands. One lonely mallard hen quack on the call and in they come feet down--addictive in the extreme!. I never get tired of that experience and will smile about it until I leave mother earth. I am lucky and have a great spot to hunt waterfowl in the Finger Lakes of NY state. I do love wild bird hunting and have been fortunate to be able to travel to Ontario , Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Maryland, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arkansas, Maine and Argentina to hunt birds both waterfowl and upland. My home area in NY was a pheasant hot spot until the middle 70's, I was lucky to experience wild pheasants out my back door. In today's world you need to travel and not sit home and think about how things were they will never return. Stay positive guys.
