so im back

[kt]

hope the waterfowlers here had a nice christmas , the new year is 24 mins old now, some computer problems had me off line a few weeks but there was some good stuff in those weeks. first of all i got my B.S. in wildlife science on the 17th. so nature decided to send me a few graduation gifts. the monday after was freezing and we hunt a little spring fed farm pond that doesnt freeze and isnt yet surrounded by houses so when it gets wicked cold thats where we head. first bird of the day, a mallard drake landed, i let him stew until shooting time then sailed him a short way. a friend went to look for him and in the early light i thought my eyes were playing tricks, but the next bird to skitter over the 40yd circle pond had a real big nose and the head looked red? could it be? well i dumped him and ran as fast as waders would allow to find a nice canvasback drake belly up in the cat tails! highlight of my season right then and there. on a farm pond. then next day the first lonely goose to come in i put belly up to see him kicking jewelry. first time for that too. 3 days hunting we killed 30 birds, mostly mallards and a few blackducks and geese. now if i dont get my but kicked at lincoln financial field tomorrow life will be good. goooooo skins
