That last pic should be framed on your wall. 
I'm thinking if we all pitch in and get RatCreek some monster mud tires and a lift kit for his Honda Ridgeline we might get an invite.
As the official parasite lure, I cannot imagine a more miserable hunting experience than to be covered in DEET, filling my boots with sweat, and still getting devoured by everything that bites and sucks blood. 😭Our September teal opener is still two miserably long weeks away from today,
Are we still talking about ducks?You can have mine too. I hate the way they make funny noises bobbing their head around.
Rick, I do not know where you are located, but I am happy to report I saw the first big group of teal this morning while walking the pooch at sunup at the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri. Heard that familiar whoosh, looked up and fifty teal came bombing down over the wooded hills to buzz the lake.More for me!!!
Best 7 seconds of her life!
Three weeks? Is he a slow learner?Congrats!
I give it 3 weeks before you start saying "Y'all" on the regular.
I am refusing to look because I am certain my numbers are similar if not worse. But worry not, Creepy Joe and the communists were partying like rock stars over the passage of the Hyper Inflation Act. 🤬I'm down almost $250,000 in my 401K since Creepy Joe took office. Pisses me off to no end.
I really don't mind the funny dog noises either, they are pretty entertaining during the slow stretches. Now the howling and barking that echoed through the marsh when we were setting-up decoys in the dark is another thing altogether.![]()
We are about to embark on the same thing. The debate will be to pump or not to pump. Seems every time we go through all the effort of dragging in the pump, getting the heavy suction hose placed and then pumping for three straight days, a rain event occurs. And as we are in a flood easement for the Corpes of Engineers (a little Barack Hussein Obama pronunciation there), we then go into scramble mode to get the pump out before flood waters ruin the pump, and in five minutes, the flood does what took us three days to do.Full swing into the duck blind rehab and getting them prepped. The opener is less than a month away!!! I’m hoping I’ll get two days a week to hunt this season. I miss being self employed.
Thankfully, we have a private club, but trust me, the guys just to our west make it feel like public hunting. They will have a dozen people for the opener and no shells will be left unfired. They will light up 200+ rounds.I'm a pretty social person, but when it comes to waterfowl hunting, I hate other human beings.
You know there is a TV show calling your name.Here ya go, Dep6. Second load, forgot to photograph yesterday's:
