Hick;
Tennis four days a week and keeping up with a 4-yr. old Setter working the edge of a bean field? Whatever you're on, I want some of it!
I put my two rail skiffs up on the screened porch under-rafters this afternoon; not much of a season, only got out once and I think we were way too early. Also a lot less rice in the meadow we usually hunt; I hope they weren't there yet as opposed to having abandoned it due to lack of food. It's always a challenge to find a new one these days.
After that I cleaned the fallen leaves and acorns that had blown under my duck skiff's cover and winched her back onto the trailer (I use the same trailer with racks I made for the railskiffs). Looking at the bags of decoys then over at my aging Lab pacing in her kennel gave me quite a rush. I was up in NY in the grouse woods for the MD early duck opener but by all accounts so far it was great. I am hoping the DU and DNR boys are right about this having the potential to be the best duck season on the Delmarva in 25 years. These are the days!
