It's so cool to see good breeding and instincts kick in. Loss of land/habitat since then and I stopped hunting altogether until a friend hooked me up with a nice place to hunt ducks, so for the last several years we've hunted, some seasons great, some not so great. (And a friend gives me venison occasionally.)

Mornings in the duck blind: hardly any place I'd rather be. My old Browning A500 serves me well, none of those lightweight shotguns that the younger (and more serious) guys use. And duck can be mighty tasty.
