Malfunctions: None
Dog(s): None (except me)
Special Equipment: None
Curses: That Mike Thompson's gun didn't make it in the boat for the ride to the blind. He didn't cuss, scream, or holler, and we even offered to run back to the camp to get it (and had the time to do so), but he wouldn't have it. Said he would wait for one of us to limit and then he would shoot one of ours. Know it had to be painful, especially since we had little ducks all over us, and were not shooting them. I was first to finish and handed him my gun, and with the birds all over, it didn't take him long to shoot his 6.
