Duck...I mean Buck Down!

Anybody out there?

Any of you guys thinking about duck hunting? I am! Here's an idea for a great way to get in the mood:
Tuesday night, October 7th, 6:00pm at the Holiday Inn University of Memphis is the annual Delta Waterfowl banquet. Tickets are $45 each...hope to see you there!

I think this is the first duck kill of the season. There is only one guy in this picture that ya'll know; look for the glare coming from the white legs!
I went down to East Texas for a guys weekend that almost got canceled due to Hurricane Ike, but we were dedicated and ended up killing 20 blue and green wing teal.
It was my first time and I absolutely loved it! The guys who go all the time were disappointed because the Teal weren't decoying very well. I guess I have a lot to learn when it comes to duck hunting, because any day I kill my limit is a good day!

2008 Death Toll hits 165 birds!

YTD number should be 165 birds.
I know that Torrent and Joseph went on a hunt over the weekend that has not been logged in, so this figure is lacking their hunt.

Well done Kevin...this blog thing is beginning to work.

September 8, 2008 (Monday AM)
Spencer, Charles and Chuck Halford killed 2 birds - quit at 8:00am

Another Dove Report

After a very early start to the day (it's amazing how much earlier 4:30 feels when you are getting up to not go hunting) for the Forrest Spence 5K. Spence and I horse-wrangled a couple of other guys into joining us for an afternoon hunt on Arkansas' opening day. After the GPS finally got us to the field we had a pretty good hunt. Despite some fairly sorry shooting on our (at least my) part we succeeded in bagging 50 doves (and a free Zaxby's meal apiece). All-in-all a pretty good day!

Spinning Wing Decoys

Everyone read this thread from a chat room re: robo duck. Don't know how you guys feel about the issue, but I personally don't like robo and think he is bad...especially on public ground. I would suggest, whether you are for robo or against him, that you read this thread and then enail your thought to all of the commissioners listed toward the bottom of the thread. It would be worth your time and their's to know how the hunters feel. Here's the link:
