Good stuff that was a good read fo sho!

keep them coming.

One of the best things ever on Ducksouth. Thanks guys for all the efforts to get it into posting format.

Olt- I had a discussion last friday with Dr Sharpe's son (Guy Sharpe) and he said that his father did not right the article, he only wrote in medical journals and by the way he was a fisherman and not a duck hunter. So we are back to square one with the author. Maybe Dr. Bright may have written it or you may have the holy grail article that we are looking for. I will be happy to help you dig thru the attic (yes it definitly needs to cool off first).
Thanks

ok its been nearly a month anything new?

*Bill, I have not forgotten about this, still want to get you some of the pictures and such. One more week of custom harvesting and another day cutting my own beans and will be done.

*Any mention among the older guys of killing ducks in "lick latter". My Dad tells me that there was a spell back in the late 60s or early 70s when it was really good for two or three years. Not sure if the ducks were just using the opening in the trees to get down and then swim in the green timber or were the ducks actually sitting in "lick latter" itself. It is not much of an opening there now. This would be on the north end of Hayward Jacks, private land adjacent to Malmaison. East Prong would deliver Tippo Creek water through there in high water events.

*Dad also mentioned a slough/swamp/opening that was south of "lick latter". I said "Moon Lake" and he said no, much smaller and more of a willow type hole than Tupelo/cypress brake like "Moon Lake". Does this small brake have a name? He said it was once good as well. Should be just east/northeast of "Moon Lake" maybe 1/4 to 1/2 mile off of Yalobusha River.

Think I have some knowledge of the "opening" Dad is talking about. A gobbler turkey or two has been known to roost there. Not willow there anymore if it is indeed the same hole of water. Would be near some very long ago planted tree fields. Trees may be 20+ years old.
