First duck hunt of the season. 3 of us out here before the storms. Skeeters eating me up and only saw 6 ducks so far and they were way outta range. I’m feeling like breakfast right about now. View attachment 30678

This spike is feeling like breakfast too this morning

Be careful you don’t turn into a quackaholic 1100 ! I contracted that disease at about 16/17 years old and it took me twenty years to get clean.

I’ve had it since that age and 51 now. I do sneak in squirrel and deer hunts to battle the demons though.

Sad news in PA today, 26 year old Floyd Wengerd died in a hunting related shooting accident
Not someone I know, but I hunted in that area many times. It was on the Amish hotline this morning, so he must've been Amish.

When I was younger, I hunted in that general area, near Huntington. On the drive from State College, I would pass through the small Amish town of Belleville. It seemed every mailbox had the name Yoder or Peachy. Sorry to hear about the hunting incident.

I was hunting just a few miles down the same ridge at the time but knew nothing of it until last evening. Awesome still-hunting conditions at that time yesterday morning, but visibility was pretty compromised with the snow coming down. I didn't know the young man, but am sure I know some of his family and definitely a bunch of those in his community. I feel badly for his family, even worse for whomever fired that shot that they'll forever wish that they could take back.
