That's funny T.J. :lol: - seriously :mrgreen:

True.....any idiot can kill a duck in Canada (I'm living proof) - it just makes me appreciate it more when I kill one at home......but I don't get 'desparate' to fill a cooler fulla proof that I'm the 'real deal'.

Killing increases because of greater opportunity - in spite of proficiency (or lack, thereof).

Thanks, Osbornjm - got got about 45 seconds of that duck on video

I think this will be our 5th or 6th year coming-up.

BTW, we ran into yo RNT bunch at the Pilot Truck Stop in Grand Forks, ND at 2:00a.m. last year - we were 'going' - they were coming home. Blake and I talked about their trip over the sound of at least 3 cups of coffee (apiece) going down the urinals before we went our separate ways. I think his last name was Edwards. He said John was passed-out in the truck. I don't remember who else was with them - other than maybe Jim Ronquest might have been the one pumpin' gas. Anne and I first met John at the boat ramp when he was in college at MSU back in the 90's - before he won his first title - nice guy. :mrgreen:

I don't know how to do that - Dutch Dog made me a DVD or CD and has a copy of both tapes from Sk '06-'07 I think - maybe he'll get around to posting something that might WOW you. He stays pretty busy. :shock:

Otherwise, when you get to Starkville, look us up - I'm not far from campus. I'll show you a few duck tornado sequences.

'Can't always go by what folks say, Austin........some folks may be tellin' the same story from 3 years ago. It's been tough all over, for po folks like us, huh?

'Better go to Canada while you can - it would suck not to be able to freelance, one day.

In Georgia, shooting a ringneck or a bluebill or teal is like shooting a bull sprig for Mississippians. Its all in perspective...

Hey, Dutch :shock: ...........if you get a free moment, put that video clip of that drake (if you still have a copy) on here for this fella, please..........poor guy thinks it's been Photo-Shopped :lol: :lol: .........any of those clips will do........especially that pair of honkers that I coulda hit with the gun barrel.

I admit - that photo is not real good quality - it's a 'still' shot from freeze-frame off the video and it's at about 12x zoom. The resolution sucks for still shot - but I can assure you, none of those photos have been edited.
