who would you hunt with...?

well, first off...i guess the "where" question would be this.

i would take a 5 day hunt down south of the border somewhere..hopefully someplace where we could sneak in a little fishing in the afternoons...and we can shoot liberal limits with lead shot. :thumbsup:

as for WHO i would bring, well..i am sure everyone is going to have the same problems of only bringing 5 people. truthfully, i would like to hunt with most of the people here...so i'll pick the 5 that i seem to have the most interaction with.

98Ram
HuntMQ1
Greg Wile
Had
Shrpshtr

if one of them was unable to attend or did not like the idea of the "liberal limit" hutning..i would have a standby list of:

Workenem
Bret
870
SCOutdoorsman

Hypothetically, I'd take Bucky 1st, and after that I'd take anyone who wanted to have a good time. You're welcome to blow your call uninvited, you can bring your hardmouth dog who farts in the blind and retrieves decoys on command. I'm not picky. I don't care if you say you shot every bird, I don't care if you shoot a Remington or a Benelli. I don't care if you shoot 3 1/2 inch T's or 2 3/4 inch 6's. I don't care if you shoot a 20 gauge or a 10. I don't care if you prefer GHG or Herters. I don't care if you wear Max 4 or fatigues. You can eat my food and drink my water, and you're still welcome to hunt with me. just never tell me you were not invited. I would just assume take a stranger who's never had a taste of duck hunting than a veteran friend who's shot every species there is and hunted everywhere possible. There is obviously people on here who share my perticular views, and that's cool, but there are other people who may not. My number ONE issue is having a good time with anyone who hunts with me. If I don't have you laughing in my blind, you don't have a sense of humor, and that is one thing I cannot permit. So who do i pick for my next four? The first ones who ask. You're never the last one picked on my team, you're just the next in line :salude: Wings cupped, Pete

i don't think Pete's generous hospitality was ment to include MY dog's farts. They are just down right WRONG.

alright, i finally have a minute where i can post mine. this is tougher than i thought because there are some great folks on this site. i should have made it at least 10. here goes though...

1st - Where & When? - i love arkansas. i have had many memorable puddler hunts there. i have grown very fond of the canada goose hunting in maryland too though. the only areas i know you can find these with equal abundance is the northern midwest (i.e. ND, SD, Manitoba, etc.) the place with the most liberal limits and plenty of water. puddlers over water in the morning, canadas in the fields during the afternoon. it would have to be early enough in the year though that everything hasn't gone too far south, i am guessing between thanksgiving and chrismas w/snow on the ground and ice in the water (not too much though).

2nd - Whose Dog? - of course, my big chocolate lab would have to be there. but at 130lbs, his fat behind will need some help (even though you can't tell him that) so he doesn't get over-worked. i'll make note by each hunter's name.

3rd - Who? - this is the big problem. too many to choose from. i want to start by saying it would be a lot shorter list if i listed who i "wouldn't" take. nonetheless, i'll list 5 and a backup 5 (similar to what SP did) and why i chose them. in no particular order...

1-Swamp Puppy - it seems like everytime i post something he and i are on the same page. of course, his block headed dog would have to help out.
2-SCOutdoorsman - same as swamp and i need another SC fella to help me show everyone how to shoot. :thumbsup: his dog would have to come along as well.
3-Bret - you all have heard him call (audio file post). if for no other reason just to hear him work. btw, talked to him on the phone and he is a wealth of knowledge.
4-Trois_beaux_canards - same as SP and SC. just a good fella to chew the fat with.
5-greg wile - somebody has to be the old guy. another great wealth of knowledge and sense of humor.
6-gahunter - i know i only said 5 but he can have my gun spot. i'll just do some calling, work the dog, and enjoy the time while everyone shoots. besides, i gotta have someone to pick on why i am there and who better than a stinking UGA Bulldogs fan???

if for some reason any of those fellas couldn't go, the reserves...

1-Snafu
2-frazier
3-huntmq1
4-gsphunter - i love hunting over GSP's
5-98ramtough - just so i can feed a duck to my dog in front of him...J/K!!!
6-had

of course, i would hunt with just about anyone here at least once.

cool post!

snafu
ol'yeller
gahunter

man my back up list could go for ever!

Well, my dogs are stupid so they stay at home. I would pick a good place to hunt that was close to a NASCAR racetrack. We could catch the race on Sunday after hunting all week. I would l debate this with the people on my list to where the best place would be.

H2ofwlr. Everybody wants to hunt with Santa! That and he could teach me a lot. I bet he could punch out some ZZ Top tunes also.

Mark McCummins. I have to take a fellow PA boy with me. He is a teacher and could...I don't know... teach something...I guess.

SC Outdoorsman. He has a truck and stuff. And he looks like a guy I could hang out with. Plus he knows how to post pictures...something I still cannot get the grasp of.

Shrpshtr. I will drink beer with him soon. The 600! And he said something that made me laugh...I think.

The 5th and final spot would go to...

Had or Swamp puppy and/or GAhunter...or woodywoodduck HMMM? The guy that has "SCUBA Steve" as the little picture next to his name...KS Waterfowler, thats it. I am going to have to think about my 5th spot and post it later.
