I'm still trying to decide, Garry. Haven't been this season . . . yet. I used to go by myself often, 9 1/2 hrs., but since my grandsons have been with me twice I just don't have the desire to go anymore without them. My years have me now battling within myself, in a way. I'm very healthy, work on the farm full time, but some of the get up and go has "got up and went". Not energy, mind you, but drive to get up and get out in the cold alone an hour or two before sunrise.
I've had a great sporting life. Started hunting at age 8, continued throughout my life (with a brief few years when girls became more important), been to Cordoba twice for doves, and chased ducks in several states. These days I fight the urge to "sleep in" when it comes to duck hunting. But, so far I can still fight it and go alone. Days like yesterday morning will make getting up and going so much easier in the days to come.
If I do make a run to east Arkansas, to the L 'Anguille River, I'll surely make a report with pics. Thank you so much for asking. Means a lot.
