Smile Goin' South

"Burt" Bickel and I are heading down to Tunica County, Mississippi this week for our annual pilgrimage to Beaver Dam. We'll meet up with Destry for breakfast at o'dark 30 at the Blue & White on Highway 61. He'll be coming down from southern Illinois. We plan a coordinated thematic gun scheme for our 3 day hunt. We'll have three 12 gauge 3" Parker D grade No. 3 frames (two 34" and one 32") in the blind and I'll shoot my early Remington Autoloading Shotgun Grade 6 (aka a Model 11F) one day and, of course, in honor of Nash Buckingham, my 32" A.H. Fox HE/XE special. The other boys will have 11Ds and their own Fox HEs, as well. The gifts for friends are packed. The waders and shells are piled in the gunroom corner. The Brooklyn Handicap and Tree Top Tall are in the leather bottle bag I'll follow up with "news from the mallard front" and jez hopes dem eloosive fowls is goin' tah pile in de cypress hole dat weez in...

I'll give Molly a pat on the head for you Edward, but she'll be picking up the ducks for us not cooking them. Molly is the name of one of our guides black labradors.

Dang I wish I was going with you guys! No ducks at my hole just south of Yazoo City, MS so I'm interested if they're holed up in Tunica. If they are please encourage them to come on down.

Please give my regards to Esquire Boyd and take lots of photos....especially of Destry!

I might be down Yazoo City way the week between Christmas and New Years actually. Was down there last year for three days and had a fine time. Killed my first ever specks and first ever Ross geese along with a heap of ducks.
