The finishing touch.

Old Info circa 2008

So, today was day 21 and the season is quickly drawing to a close. We left at 5:30 for the old old spot and on the way out decided to try a new area of the Mighty Columbia. We set up out in the willows on the tip of the high water mark, a spot we perhaps should have tried sooner. I was chock full of ideas this morning. A new decoy spread, telling Fred how to build the blind; which I could tell he appreciated, advice on how to use the whistle call he has; which I could tell he appreciated and even ideas about where to sit. Boy I was full of em'. You see I planed to cleanly take over the lead this morning by greasing the first greenie of the year, and in the process become $20 richer.

There were a few fliers in the early morning but after a beautiful sunrise the ducks started coming in earnest. The first kill was all FGM with a double takedown of bluebills. At first there was some disagreement as to who shot the second one but being a team we worked it out. I missed 3 times. Then a fat ole hen mallard got taken, again by FGM. I missed 3 times. After that a big bunch of Greenies came flyin' in and again Fred folded while I missed 3 times. Now at this point I have to say that I was not the happiest guy in the world. Down 4 ducks and out $20 on what is likely the second to last day of the season, not good. So I did what any adult would do: told Fred to shut the hell up and sulked. At this point he shot yet another duck which I can't even remember right now. Oh yea, and I missed 3 times. AAAAAAARGH.

Well the ammo was running low and the day wasn't looking good for old Bob here so there was only one thing left for me to do. Murder the next Greenie that came by. I did. So you see I was right, I folded a greenie today. With that and a totally average but highly delicious sandwich under my belt I have to say that this was clearly the best day of the season. 6 kills for the team and a successful new spot with great hunting. I only wish Fred G could take a nice picture of me with my duck. Sorry folks but I am not afflicted with the "crazy eye" as the picture implies.
Oh, and one other thing. If you ever decide to clean ducks in your garage take a tip from Tony Soprano, put down a nice drop cloth so it doesn't look like that scene from "Carrie".

Thanks for stoping by and remember GBCH.

And Now A Word From Jiggity

Brother Bill,

I am certainly going to watch. I looked at the last video and it was dam good. Should I expect anything less? My life is hectic, but guess what? I am one day closer to getting my class 2 manufacturers license from the ATF. To sum it up, I can build full-auto weapons-any of them, own them, and also import certains explosives. I am going to try to import Bulgarian grenandes. More on that when I talk to you. I almost had to pistol whip some old man in the parking lot of Wal-mart. This Fucker pushed his cart right into my truck, and then when I called him out on it, he said "who cares". My response was swift, " hey old man, you want get get rolled like a cheap burrito"! He got the hint. I just aquired a room-mate after getting shit canned by Dayna. He name is Angela and she is an awesome chick. I work 8-6 and fucking hate it. I am trying to figure out how to work very little, and play a lot. I will call this week. Tell paige hello, the brother congrats, and Fred and Ed to pack sand!
