You Almost Have To Be A Brain Surgeon

From The 2006 Duck Season

The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission approved a 60-day configuration for the 2005-06 duck season. Simply put it allows a 6-duck per day bag limit. But, it is a long way from being that simple. First off we have different hunting zones in the state of Louisiana.

Hunting Is Gets Tougher As You Get Older

I came in the other day and told Barbara that I will have to stop duck hunting. My eyesight has gotten so bad that when I drop a duck I can’t see far enough to tell where it fell.

“Why not hunt with Bob and Will? she asks.

Why and How I Came Home From The Camp Drunk

I arrived home from the camp and was half in the bag.

Barbara started in on me about how I needed to be a little more productive in my free time, and that I was much too old to be drinking like this in the middle of the day.

A Typical Day At The Mallard Inn

There have been many descriptions of duck hunters over the years and most are not flattering. So I thought I would take a typical day from this past duck season and try and capture the true essence of a duck hunter.

I was reading an article on aging that was written by Philip Yaffe and it got me to thinking ….. “Why now, do the years seem to fly by so much faster?”

It seems that the older you get, the faster time seems to slip by. I’m in my 60’s now and it only seems like a short time ago that we were all agonizing over 2YK, fearing civilization as we know it would end. They say life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer to the end, the faster it spins. It is a widely accepted adage that, “The older you get, the faster time seems to go.” But why should aging have this effect? After all, there is the parallel adage that, “Time flies when you are having fun.” But as we age, time flies whether we are having fun or not.

So what’s going on?

We are reworking our floating bridges. We are presently in the process of replacing all of that old heavy wood decking with lighter weight, and hopefully less maintenance, wire decking.
