Batten Down the Hatches Boys . . . It's a Crap Shoot!

Alrighty! We've a mere 9 days left in what has been the most glorious of seasons on Trigger Happy Farms. How will it end? Sky's the limit. We're looking at lows in the 20's tonight, which means we'll blow off tomorrow morning and shoot for thawing ice 'round 1:00 p.m. As for the rest of the week, looks like mainly low temps in the mid-to-upper 20's and highs in the mid-to-upper 30's. As for sun vs. clounds, it's too close to call, but in any event, I'm sayin on the front end that the weather man will control our destiny. If it thaws and the sun emerges, we'll most likely smoke 'em. If it's frozen and cloudy, we'll do good to shoot another 30 before the week's end. Either way, ole Gibby ain't gonna give 'em any rest between here and the end.

We need 4 ducks outta Chuck's to break the all-time number of ducks harvested in a single field.

We need 13 mallards to break the all-time number of mallards harvested in a season.

We need about 210 shovelers to break the all-time number of those for a season, but I don't think we'll achieve such success. Possible . . . but doubtful.
