Just curious bout how long everyone has been at this game.....started in '78

Started in 1970 myself-------

Last year.

Seriously in '05 when I bought my first boat. But hunted with friends throughout highschool just not on my own.

2 summers ago.....hunting was terrible.

That year they dug that pond at Crossgates. That's when I knew, THESE were my people. I went and got some big booty stickers for my truck, $3,700.00 of acrylic duck calls, wrote a check for DU, and BAM, here I am today!

Since 1982 (when I was 12) and still going strong!

shot my 1st duck in 1967.....

Been Loving it ever since

God Bless you

First hunt was 69 at Sardis...

Went on my 1st hunting trip in December of 1981. I was 9 months old. Made my 1st trip into the field when I was 4. Killed my 1st duck at 10. Mom and Dad made a deal that my brother and I wouldn't carry a gun until we were 10 and passed hunter's safety.

About '69 or '70.

I shot my first ducks around 1983. It was just woodies in beaver ponds but I loved it just the same. I was only 13 and my dad wouldn't duck hunt because it interfered with deer hunting so I quit after a couple years. I picked it back up on my own about 6 years ago.

Forever for me...long as i can remember and i'm 35 years young this month

Prolly 1985 or 6. Growing up, my family always hunted birds, which = quail back then. But I had this so-called friend who talked me into going duck hunting while we were in college. Some day I'll get even with him.....

When I was in elementary school my grandpa would drop me off at the pond with my single shot 20 guage and a case of shells and tell me to kill as many of them things as I could becasue he was convinced they were gonna bring in algae to his pond, he also told me to leave the ones I killed because they were not any good to eat......fast forward to early high school decided to take a real duck hunter to the spot he was ready to leave after we saw nothing and I was like heck man, its not time for them to be here yet, they will pour in the last 30 min of light. That was when I learned about what roost shooting being illegal. Started really duck hunting about 6 years ago. Would not trade any of these experiences for anything.
