Doesn't count Reb. It has to be done in open water, thinking to yourself that you are the craziest badass in the world.

So standing in a pair of waders in open water? It'd more BA if you put on wetsuit and treaded water to do it! :)

Obviously, you missed the part where you hide behind a silouette. Badass.

I've often thought about putting on a wetsuit and hiding in the decoys. Put a goose shell on your head and you don't even need a gun. Just mosy on over to a goose, grab it by the foot and pull it under. I call it the stealth method. Pattent pending.

From what I saw its just standing in water off the shore. Must fall into the diver hunter elite group that make up a clever name for it to make up for their short cranks.


It's for poor people that can't afford layout boats.

From what I'm hearing, it's for those more alpha than layout boat hunters. :)

I used to go thru incredible hardships to get at and take shots at ducks and geese. Then I figured out the easy way. If I'm un-alpha for wanting to do it that way...I'm a Zeta.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.

Now I gotta make some of those too so I can do this. I fall into the "too poor for a layout boat" category.

Well, I don't know if you'll call it season prep because it's just boat and trailer upgrade and maintenance, but I got bearings and carpet today.

This sounds completely possible for early teal season. Water would still be tolerable.

Starting to get a little bit anxious for season. Been in the reloading room working up some loads to test and happened to come across my calls to annoy the wife for a bit. Feeling good.

Eh, 11 or 12. They burn me up down here completely underestimated them. For the most part our "cold" days start in the 30's then the sun pops out and up to 50's quick. Hunted half a season in them.
