Extreme duck boat tour

The fronds match a dried corn field perfectly once the turn to dead rush color. I keep fresh fronds on the boat when in Florida, because everything pretty much stays green here all year.

Hitch:
Good luck on your trip. The weather here in Wisconsin has been weird for this time of year and I've seem to missed it coming and going so hope you hit it right!

as you put it recently, "humming right along", these days.....given the mileage that you've got there if it wasn't that $4.00 a gallon gas you'll be pumping in two weeks might have been a bit hard to swallow.....thank God for Government Contractors in war time, eh?

Is Czar up to the trip this year?

Czar will be on the trip, and he may even get to retrieve a little if Shah lets him. Czar will be seizure free for 2 years in February, and w/o medicine, and Czar will be 10 years old in January.

I think they'll love this trip as much as I will. The life of a dog... if I were a dog (of the canine specie that is) I would want to be a Gun dog.

The H in South Bend is right over my house....if you want to get the H up here I can show you a lot of water devoid of fowl.
 
If everyone that has mentioned possibly hooking up with Hitch on his "tour", buys him a tank of gas. Why he is likely to MAKE money on this trip! hehe
 
Lee,

That surprizes me. When we'd run the oldest boy up to school in Holland I often day dreamed about living in that area and hunting tons of ducks and geese in the marshes and ponds we'd see along the way.
 
Well Ed, Holland is a lot closer to Lake Michigan than I am and I don't believe Lake Michigan is a flyway...at least not like Erie,St.Clair and Ontario. I will see ducks the last week of season and the 3 weeks between our wonderful 2 days in Jan. split. The East side of the state is marsh about 20 miles in and the West side is sand dunes about 10 mi. in. You can't drive three miles in my county without going by..or over...water but the ducks that are here are in areas that you can't shoot. There is a resident population of geese on my lake that number about 150..one end of the lake is in the village (no discharge of firearms) the other half, where my property starts is in the township...where do you think all the geese hang out? It drives the Grandson crazy as we sit in the boat and have deafening flocks of geese fly about twice as high as shootable..then watch them loose air and land in the village water...me too. The ducks will come once it starts getting nasty up north. Marquette is supposed to get 10-15" tonight and we are supposed to get some lake effect. I pulled the pontoon out Saturday and have to clean it up, change the oils and get the cover on it..may have to shovel snow out of it first! Hitch, there's more than just ducks ya know.
 
Goes to show I haven't done my homework huh? I do hear you about the resident geese. We have about that same number until the first couple of weeks of the season then they go out and bring back more! At any given time there will be 100 to 300 on our shoreline. The kicker is that I can legally park my rump in a boat across the slough from the house and pop away. That's good for about two mornings or until they bring in some out of towners. The damn things will come over me at around 100 yards then swing about 80 yards out from my decoys, laugh at me then pull up and sit on the neighbors yard all day long. The nieghbors tell me to sit in my boat and they'll kick them up for me. Yeah right...just what I need is a ticket for shooting at the nieghbors "rallying" the birds for me! You won't believe how many times I've looked up to see a DNR guy watching from our bridge with binoc's trying to catch someone. It's funny how often I'll see someone getting a ticket. Mainly for no fishing license.
