Stan, your first account reminds me of a particular Gordon McQuarrie story, Bluebill Day, in which he describes a hunt that found him alone and with only a partial box of shells. One of the best duck hunting stories I have ever read. After reading your description of that 6-fo-6 day, I'll bet you'd enjoy it for sure.
Thanks for posting. One of these days I hope to hunt ducks in the flooded timber of Arkansas.
