I'm Jealous .......

[Duck Me Runnin]

Of you mofos that are going to get to duck hunt the next couple of days. This may not be a huge front, but I bet it moves a few new birds into town.

Good luck to all.

And happy turkey day to all you folks too.

[CuppedAndCommitted]

DMR, Don't mean to rub it in but, the uncoming hunt schedule includes hunting Thursday thru Monday. 5 days of ducks. Can't believe I sold the little lady on it either considering I'm going next weekend as well.

Happy Turkey Day to all, as well.

Good luck fella's. I was in Kirksville for deer season and saw so many ducks heading south I thought they would have thought the whole migration had all gone through already.

C&C, we gots 4 goin tomorrow... You, Me, Bro-in-law, and TTTim. PM to ya wif details.

This here cold front what is fixin to come in just might be the ticket.

Hobbs,



Where's that damm Tall Tale Tim been hidin' ? Tell him I said " Hey ". I hope y'all grind 'em tomorrow.



Dave,



Watchin' the skies while you're deer hunting ? I do that every year. Go ahead, admit it. You're really a duck hunter ain't ya ?

[Rafe Hollister]

I watch the skies when I hear 'em honking & quacking up there so's I can take cover if they come directly over me!

[Warmouth]

DMR the flights were so big I could hear them from a good way off. Lots of ducks.

I was shocked to see big flocks of dove also. 15-25 doves in a flock, and I saw more than just a couple flocks.

[Duck Me Runnin]

Rafe,
That's wise thinkin'.

Dave,

Those big bunches make lotsa noise. There's a lot of air gettin' ripped up there.

Those northern doves hang in big bunches when they pass through. They'll key on one field and really gang up.
We had 'em come into the field by the lake we hunted on the N. zone opener. They came to the water after feeding, and were landing within 2' of my layout blind. It was pretty damm cool. The next morning, they were gone.

DMR, TTTim is workin down at the Capital now... he ain't got no time for this kinda chit no more, beins he's all impotent and chit (or maybe it's that it's monitored so much down there??). Plus, he got's hisself a new lady type friend what is eattin up alot of his time. Chit, the boy is scarce I'm tellin ya. Heck, he ain't killed but 5 deers so far this year... and even fewer ducks. I'm tellin ya, he's ate up.

[Duck Me Runnin]

Dayum ! I hope his son and his dog forgive him for abndoning his killin' ways.

[Outdoorsfool]

I was just thinking over the weekend about that challenge he made last year about whacking 50 deer, or whatever it was. The snake was almost as riled up over that as he is his neighbor with the nuisance tags!

[PoisonSnake]

I wasn't riled about him killing 50 deer. I was all for him doing it. What riled me was the fact that he didn't work a day for 3 straight months. He claimed he was doing it to better the herd. Oh, and all the ones he was wounding. What got me the most though was that he kept saying he wasn't doing it to set the record. Then, not long after deer season, he e-mails LH to find out if he got the record only to find out someone had killed twice as many as he did. You would have thought his pet gerbil had died the way he moped around. He was down and out about it I tell you.

[Rafe Hollister]

[Warmouth]

Nobody in their right mind wants to gut and drag 50 fuggin deer in a season. I aint sayin it couldn't be done, but dang, I'd be tired of it after 20-25, if that many.

[Outdoorsfool]

PS - Was there ever a final count on # of injured deer or deer shot and never recovered? Or was he not owning up to anything of the sorts?
