Garry, I recognize those big guns from the mini-museum in the "Pyramid Cabela's" at Memphis. I have hunted ducks for over 25 years about 40 minutes across the river from it, on the L 'Anguille, White and Cache rivers in eastern Arkansas. Two years ago I was blessed to get to take two of my grandsons, who hunt ducks, there and we spent an afternoon at that Cabela's, then had supper at The Rendezvous.

I have hunted several times on the Cache in a blind that requires us to go right by an old blind site that Nash hunted from, and wrote about, called Trappers island. This photo is of a very large, and old, blind near Trappers Island that is called The Peabody Blind. It is so named because someone "appropriated" a red velvet covered "rope" from The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, where the scene of the mallards coming down the elevator and walking the red carpet to a pool in the lobby, plays out every morning. The Rendezvous restaurant is right in front of The Peabody, as I recall.
