Obscene . . . Simply Obscene

Wulp, we've found our groove. That's not to say that we've got the game figured out, but we've finally fallen into the rut, and this season its coming early.

Friday, December 11, 2009, Tom Waleszonia joined Donnie, the Kid, and I for an afternoon shoot over the ice. Continuing the tradition, we smoked those wide-bills like there was no tomorrow. 4-man limits in about an hour -- 24 total. 2 Pintail, 22 SHOVELERS!!!!!

On Saturday, Tasha, J-Hawk, Jake, the Don, the Kid, Meredith, ole Gibby, and Cannonball (singular) made another trip to the fabled Home Field blind, the 12th such trip out of 12 hunts this season (that'd be 100%, for you math majors). Took us till noon, but we finally emerged with 39 birds, including 23 shovelers, 9 Mallards, 6 GW Teal, and 1 Speck.
