The Maryland duck season opens tomorrow. I would love to be at my club on Church Creek but unfortunately I am double booked. Tomorrow, I'll be at the old gun club for our club championship-scratch at 30 yard rise as we have done for 134 years. We've done a lot of improvements to the grounds so I am hopeful of a good day of sport. Perhaps, Fred Kimble and Capt. Bogardus can resume their rivalry along the big river again this year. maybe I can sneak down to Maryland during the week and catch a few of dem eloosive fowls unawares
