As far as I know, this is the latest updated schedule??? If so, my date is in red. Again, I'm sorry for the delay fellas. This working 2 jobs, trying to live a social life and having a lady friend seems to suck up all my time from my internet friends.

Oh I won't do that! I'm cutting hours from job #2 for the season so I can have time to hunt and relax.

I would be up for keeping it for 2 weeks, lot of us in this area could hunt over it. Maybe MO and I could do a 16ga duck shoot.

It doesn't look like anyone has it right after me, so I plan on hunting it a couple extra days. I have the 8th-12th off from work so I will be solo hunting every day that week.

Need a little advice on waterproof cameras, or ways to keep water off a camera. My only camera is a $1000 Canon and I really don't want to bring it to the hole I'm hunting on the Sunday that I have the decoy. This hole is miserable to get to. About 45 minutes of walking through waist high swamp, with floating cat tail pods. The guy in the front is literally stepping up on the pod, then falling through back down to waist high. Usually bring 8-10 guys out and split into 2 groups about 150 yards away. It's always the best shoot of the year, but I've always been afraid to bring a camera in because of how crazy it is. So..any ideas?

Great advice, I never thought of that! I guess I was asking how waterproof and durable they are. Worth it? And whats something goid for cheap.

My little brother had one of these last year, I think it was an older model but I played with it and it was pretty rugged. I've been wanting one just for taking photos while duck hunting.

Boots got a waterproof camera. Saw him fully submerge it in the river to get an underwater pic. Should ask him what it is. Think he said he paid $300 for it a few years ago

I might try to pop some dove if I see them this weekend, but I'm still waitin for duck season to really start gettin after stuff. I'd like to sharpen up my shooting tho since I'm starting out the year going to Canada. I think I'm doing it wrong, like gettin laid and then takin her to dinner and a bad movie.

It is going to suck a bit. But since it's nice, and it's a holiday weekend, and I'll be hunting in the bay right behind a resort town, I need to be able to see to make sure my set up is ok, mostly what's behind it. A lot of times, people will beach their boats on the island I'll be hunting off of, booze it up, and sleep the night there. I'd hate to get all set up, and have the sun come up and see three pontoon boats and a bayliner beached 80 yards directly behind my dekes. It's going to be bad enough keeping the looky-loos on their jet skis away during the late afternoon.
