Paging Ricky Spanish

[Ricky Spanish]

The decline is going to be really felt next season I think.
It's sad seeing the Arkansas guys struggling. Just ten years ago was a completely different world. The wma sounded like a battle zone ten years ago.
Hundreds of hunters finding a place to park another rig was tough. Now? Ten or 20 die hards and some oosers are left of what once was an army of duck hunters.

The year it was so bad that they were bringing back squirrels on duck straps knocked the numbers down.
It's getting worse and worse for a waterfowler.
Notice all the pile pictures?
The good old days went when the blinds got burnt.
It'll get worse then better.
It's getting harder to think that it's even possible to call and shoot a mallard duck.
I'm peaking at skill level and nothing to shoot.
Yawn. Go back to sleep.

Want to see something funny and really old?
It's time. You've all heard of herp Albert and the tiajuana brass.
You've all heard of Yosemite sam and bugs bunny but...


Ever hear of Mel Blanc and the tiajuana strings? They appeared on the jack Benny show way back.
Someone recorded and published it on YouTube.
Look it up. Funny stuff.

[Ricky Spanish]

Erg.
Just ordered these.

Hope they get here quick.

[Ricky Spanish]

There are a lot of Matt's out there.
The say stuff like "let's hunt together".
You trade numbers and keep in touch.
Hunting season comes and Matt turns into this sucking noise...info...info...how many did ya kill? Where? When?.
He figures out your not hammering mallards and don't show up.
Don't be a Matt.

I was curious, google said “spara tutto” which translates to “shoots all” light and heavy loads. What in the hell did we do before the internet?

Thanks. I asked a gunsmith that told me what he thought it meant. Internet is always right so I'll go with that.
I will ask max. He's Italian. Somewhere around here I have the instruction manual. Maybe it has a clue.

[Ricky Spanish]

Hehe.
My neighbors.
I'm always complaining about em.
They drive like it's a race and keep tearing up cars.
Now one is in the driveway popping and banging. Sounds like a wreck because . .. oh look it is.
They done wrecked again.
Probably into some racist white dude...lol
(Checks boat and truck)

Put a big rubber rattlesnake in his doorway and they’ll stay inside forever.

The guys wife is the crazy one he's just an innocent victim. She grew up in an orphanage. The one we support but she don't know that.
I've talked to the both over the years. We tried being friendly. She's the crazy one..when she aint around he's normal but she puts him up to doing some mighty weird shit. The bee swarm day ...she used him like a shield and sword. I've seen her put on an act that'd blow your mind.
She showed up bawling because she thought he was inside and gonna get her so I took my dog over and went thru their house. Nothing.
Things really got weird when the state gave them their kids back. They're allergic to EVERYTHING so watch your step mister.

[Ricky Spanish]

My dog is a lot antisocial UNTIL everyone is wearing camo. Then he won't notice people.
Get a little too close to the truck with him in it and hes Cujo. If you're wearing camo you will survive.

He's a completely different animal at a boat ramp full of hunting rigs. Then he's nice.

[Ricky Spanish]

Heyyy. She got me some gin-gins.
These are good but are anti-inflamatory.
She's trying to get me out of the house and into the blind.
Mm.

He looks wasted.
This too. Cool.

I complained about being achy too much so she's made a list of stuff to not eat. ( your what hurts?) Everything
This sucks. Either a big assed storm is coming or I got the beer bug again

[Anotherone]

It’s about to get cold as witch tits.

Ironic that you'd say that.

[Ricky Spanish]

Coyote threads are buried.
This dog piled em up one night.

If you have a dog with one blue eye it has some shepherd or sled dog in it. I had one named Buddy thst was fearless about Coyotes.

[Ricky Spanish]

Do not handle or eat sick birds.
Sweet! I now have an excuse.

[Anotherone]

My wife’s shetland sheepdog pup has one blue eye.

[Ricky Spanish]

Wondered about this a while.
Elon Musk...African-American
HE IS NOT BLACK EVEN A TINY BIT.
???

O I C.
He was born in Africa.
Biggest joke ever and it went right over my head.

[Ricky Spanish]

People are sleeping at Twitter? Gasp.
That reminds me of that time I did not clock out for about 11.5 months. Seriously I lived at work there was no choice. All this new equipment would run a while then stop and I'd have to troubleshoot it and get it running.
The craziest things can shut down a factory.
After I got called in so much that I couldn't sleep I ordered a cot and sleeping bag from grainger.
Slept in the board room.
A year later Dennis was giving me, Myron, and Wayne stinkeye. He wanted to know how we made more than a district manager that year.
oh...just hard work. Kept our noses clean.
Imagine checks with 128 hours OT per week.

I didn't get to hunt that year. They paid for it

[Ricky Spanish]

Everything has changed. Report from neark.
Everything is wet.
I'm betting the wma isn't flooding badly yet but give it 2 or 3 days. No more short strings yall.
Yeah that's wetness yup.

Somebody is going to Texas and drove right past Dave Donaldson wma. The picture is from near Corning.
That's a good place to be for a duck hunter.
Right near the black river baby.

[Ricky Spanish]

If I had to guess I'd say that the ducks flew right on past me, and Shelbyville too.
Some Grif guy online is reported to have had good hunts at Carlyle Lake. That's only halfway to Cairo.
Hm. It wouldn't be the first time they just plain missed me. I will chase them southwards.
Maybe by Christmas Yankeegray might have some action.

[Ricky Spanish]

Ever had a call you had to grow into?
Yup.
Ever outgrow a call?
Uh huh.

This one is an example of having to grow into a call.
This little guy kicked my ass so I handed it to BC and he couldn't blow it either.
I was like " how is this even possible?".
We were blowing it like a j-frame and it just won't work.
Hm.
I put it on a shelf for a year or two.
In the mean time I'd been given a cutdown olt.
I had another that's tuned so heavy I couldn't blow it so it sat too. For years. I mean like 8.
Got taught cutdown style and it changed everything.
Now I see why this little call wasn't working you have to wail on it like a cutdown.
Steve should get credit for this.
He is "Mort" on the refuge.
Really a nice guy from California.
His call is real nice.

Careful this can backfire up in your face like it did me last night. She was up studying what she wants L.L. Bean.
Uh oh.
