Double birthday gift
My son Jim Jr gave me two birthday gifts this past week. The day before my 90th birthday he was told his cancer had been removed after 7 weeks of radiation and chemo. The second gift was a trip to the Mississippi for the early teal and goose hunting. The weather was hot, in the high 80s reaching 90 degrees but with a nice wind and staying in the shade it was tolerable. The duck activity you'd expect to be slow which it was. The teal were still present but woodies seemed to be the most active. Even at 90 years old I pulled the classic, leaning my gun against a tree to pee, two blue wings came whistling by at 5 feet. My favorite shot, right to left. We hunted for two days and although with no birds in hand it had to be the best birthday present for both of us.
