Used to jump shoot with my friend who shot skeet on the Air Force skeet team back in the 50s he was the only enlisted man on the team.Him in the front me paddling or poling my double ender. We hunted a local large slough with lots of cover. What fun to watch him shoot. Lost track of the number of doubles and triples he made. Had him out for the opener this year, he is 88 and time has taken its toll. He has never missed a duck opener even in the service.

I had my plans for a couple of woodies jump shooting a couple of local WMAs. What is it they say about the best laid plans? At least I carried the gun. So much to do at that time of year, and so little time. I enjoyed this post very much.

The last three times I have been out, I have had a nice walk carrying my parker.
I have seen a few ducks, but they are very spooky. It must have something about being shot at from Canada to Indiana. |

After viewing the ice storm damage in my yard this morning, I decided to go duck hunting.
This is the last weekend.They are definitely northern birds. |

Sure beats cutting up downed limbs. Beautiful ducks with an equally beautiful gun.

Glad I didn't have that ice here, you can imagine what that would have done, life in the woods. Usually good but trying at times.
There was just some fella on the tube yesterday saying that all those birds coming from up North were practically tame. His theory was lack of pressure in Canada due to the Rona. His theory, not mine. I'm just repeating what he said.
