Hunting Ducks, part 874

 Well, maybe they haven't gone THAT many times yet - but EVERY weekend (and some weekdays taken off work even!) these two are up hours before dawn (yes, Eric!) out in the freezing cold weather, braving the elements - for Duck.

 

You might have remembered earlier this year Eric painting his *new* boat camoflauged to prepare for this event...

 

   

The boat turned out great (so I'm told) and works well for where they are hunting.  There were also a slew of decoys purchased to further their pursuit...




There are stories of duck chasing, duck calling, and boats getting stuck.  There are all day Saturday naps to make up for the 4am wake up calls, there are sacrifices made to the "honey-do" list and freezing rain endured.  But there were still no ducks...just two guys in waders....


Arguabley looking ridiculous - but very surely having a good time :)
Thank you February for coming!  I've had about enough of duck season!
