Grumpy old fart drug up before the end of the season again last year, only this time burning the bridge behind him by doing it with hunters waiting to head to the marsh. Been struggling on a lease in Little Chenier, I'm told. But I wish him no illl, was a good hand and friend.

Rick wrote:He'd been talking like it would be his last year of guiding, anyway, and decided to go out in style when Doug told him he had three hunters that morning, instead of just the two we're set up for. We can all get pretty cranky towards season's end and have joked about showing up the morning after it closes just to growl at each other.

We are most open to the big water from that direction. This past weeks winds were strong but were from the north, north east and east, and the blind is fairly well protected from these winds attempt to make waves that would pound the blind.
All I can do now is hope she hangs in there....We may head to the lumber yard after the hunt Saturday for more 16 foot boards to drive around the pit. I need some peace of mind during these big south winds we have in between fronts. The better thing would be to move to a more protected pond when able, but this may be a while, as those are occupied and few and far between.

Don't s'pose you'd get any perverse pleasure out of knowing your old blind is under water, and the subleter who has it sub-sublet to some other poor guys and is supposed to be handling all water concerns is just getting around to trying to do something about it today? Well, maybe yesterday, as he told me that's when Doug told him he'd call me, which still hasn't happened. Wasn't going to lift another finger over there, but felt sorry for whoever it is that's getting crapped on. Again...
