"Thus we see that the lot of the duck hunter is not a happy one. He is the child of frustration, the collector of mishap, the victim of misfortune. He suffers from cold and wet and lack of sleep. He is punished more often than rewarded. Yet he continues. Why?" (Ted Trueblood, Louisiana Sportsman. Dec. 2002)

"...Because one great day--and great days do come, days when the ducks are willing and the gun swings true--repays him manyfold for all of the others."
One of my favorite hunting quotes.

For those few "seconds" that you have those ducks fooled. That's all it takes for me to return again and again!

Because those few seconds when the ducks are in gun range are magical and the companionship of fellow hunters and good dogs offers more than any other pasttime can offer. And, also because we are probably a little bit crazy.
