Lets all talk about what Mudsucker wants to talk about.

That pretty well sums it up

this thread is as predictable every year at this time as the migration "used" to be.

Was not trying to hijack, just saying we hear the same thing for the 26 years I have been hunting and we always go out in the blind next year. Post the thread, I was not telling you to shut up on here. I said that is one thing folks can do. NOTHING!

Whats surprising to me is the level of ignorance we all have as to what the ducks are really doing during season. We sometimes think that since the ducks skipped our hunting hole this year, or our entire region for that matter, that there are no ducks. This is an example of making a judgement call without gathering all the necessary information. The folks in position to get all the information necessary to judge the health of the duck population and its actual major migration routes are national organizations like DU and DW.
We see a lot of glowing reports pre-season as to the duck reproduction numbers and the rainfall in the PPR, but the rubber meets the road where the ducks settle in good numbers in Nov., Dec., and Jan. Yet we don't see much from DW about this.
I agree our web discussion goes round and round and round to the point of throwing your hands up and saying- SHUT UP!
Po Monkey asks a good question: what are you gonna do about it?
I'm thinking...

After giving this matter much thought and consideration, and after a few beers and a couple of shots of Old Starter, I have come to the following conclusion : some of us have got to go for the good of the sport. I don't really know who it should be, and I'm not going to name any names, but some of you yuppie topwaters have got to go. I know it sounds harsh, but sacrifices need to be made and quick!!

Now in Phase One we could start with any of you who did not hunt at least 40 days out of the 60 day season. If you let work, family commitments, a hen-pecking wife, bodily injury, or anything short of death keep you out of the field for less than 40 days, then you are simply not committed enough to the sport and should immediately quit and sell all of your stuff to someone who can put it to use more often.

Now, if that doesn't thin the herd enough, we can implement Phase Two. Since stickers are apparently evil, anyone with a damned DU, DW or any other type of waterfowling sticker on their truck, boat , gun, dog, or any othe piece of equipment has simply got to go ---no ifs, ands, or buts ---ESPECIALLY any of you retards with some type of "Meatstick" or other such sticker on your gun barrel. Next, any of us who have used any type of electronic decoy --spinner, shaker, etc. --- is unworthy and has to leave the sport as well. Ditto with respect to anyone who has used a store bought jerkstring rig.

Finally, if it comes down to it, we can bring out the nuclear option ---Phase Three. If you have ever used store bought decoys, store bought calls (especially any call named Yo Mama, Yo Sista, Yo Bro, Yo Uncle, Yo Ante, Yo YO YO, etc.) , any boat motor made after 1960, any boat not made of wood, any gun manufactured after 1945 that holds more than one shell at a time, any hunting jacket not made of natural materials, any electronic dog collar or any wader higher than a canvas knee boot, then you are confined to the house.

Now then, that should leave only MSDuckmen and Benny able to hunt in Mississippi. There should be plenty of ducks for the rest of us to watch.

I think you should be given a pass if you have a window sticker that says "if it flies it dies". That is the best.

And I thought Po Monk was the Yuppie!

Mudsucker, my post was in jest --- obvious sarcasm ---directed at myself as well as others --- well, obvious to most I guess.

Dude, we really need to meet soon. I want to see you, in person, refer to me as gay, a yuppie, or any other derogatory term you have publicy used on this board when singling me out. Not really sure what your personal beef with me is all about, but it appears to be a continuing sitiation that needs to be worked out, one way or the other. Looking forward to it.

Po Monk,
For the record, your sarcasm was not lost on all. However...there is a line and that line is store-bought jerk strings. I mean seriously, if somebody can't figure out how to tie a decoy to a rope with a rubber band on it....maybe they shouldn't be dealing with complex issues such as not pointing a gun at somebody.

mottlet

po monk and muddy..

msducks fight night.. we could have it at the wolley swamp.. in the big field.. we could split the gate.. half the $ going to du and the other half to dw..

po monk what bout your chin.. you don't have a glass chin do ya?

joe.. you ready to go the swamp and represent? your going to have to learn to fight close as the monk will have the reach on ya..

I know both Mudsucker and Po Monkey and I see no reason why these two fellows couldn't get along if they ever met. The jackass on the other side of a keyboard is not always the same fellow in person.

Tickets go on sale at Habib's in Minter City in the morning boys !

Just how big a boy is ol Mudsucker? (Notice the wink --THIS IS A JOKE --- I AM NOT REALLY SERIOUS ---- the one liner is borrowed from Roy D. Mercer --- I've kept it short with no sarcasm so all can comprehend --- disclaimer has been issued --- carry on) .

Po Monk my man! I have always like you and thought you were as scarcastic as me! I was just kidding on the Yuppie remark because of 'yo profesion. On the other hand, one EVER thought a dredgeboater was a yuppie. We are rude, crude, and we dress funny! I am only 5'8" so you would definately have the reach from pics. I have seen with you in them. Now about the gay thing, I can only go by what BRF told me! Peace Out!
