I've hunted waterfowl when I turned 16, quit a couple of years after I got out of the army. Hunted in So Ill near cairo. and also the rice fields in Arkansas and La,. I had a "dead cripple" come to life once in my coat, and I felt so bad I hung it up. I'm not against hunting, I remember both "duck weather" and blue bird weather,. I also lost interest in it when one of the guys we used to hunt with got killed in nam. If you want good shooting, east texas is the place. wayched flocks of brant and snows that staggered the imagination.The last time we took the travel trailer there, they let the hunters remove the 3 shot plugs.Almost every day I see sandhill creanes in the barren refuge areas,. All the years hunted only ate duck once, it was terrible, my grandpa loved it. Had a disaster one thanksgiving when I decided we were going to dine on Canada goose. Like trying to eat part of a truck tire. The end came for me also with the 10 gauge shot guns, my 3 inch mag was useless with the sky blasters with those big guns.
