The Perfect Recipe . . . For Disappointment

There will be blood! Well, at least that's what it looks like right now. I'd estimate 2,000 ducks and 10,000 geese are inhabiting the Home field presently. Moreover, they're flying in early in the mornings, feeding until mid-morning, and then flying out. I'd say that God himself has blessed us with exceptional conditions for the beginning of the season. Its terribly exciting.

So what's the down side? Well, historically, anytime it looks this good the day before, I'm setting myself up for a huge letdown the day of. In my mind, we've already reduced 48 ducks and 52 geese to possession -- actually shooting them is a mere formality. Of course, even in my optimistic mind, the 48 ducks are 90% shovelers, so I guess reality could surpass my imagination -- doubtful, though. Obviously, it rarely works out that way. Suffice it to say that I anticipate a decent shoot opening morning. We'll hope for the best and take what we get. As for now, Gibby's forecast call for snow, and lots of it.
