i was surprised at our water temp the last few times in our marsh, way cooler than I ever would have expected.Rick wrote:Lord no. Would either have to keep him in the boat or watch him constantly to keep him away from water that might hold what's made some pretty serious trails across the flotant. Don't know where our water temps are, but doubt they're low enough yet to be trustworthy.
The bug's restricted to ag land ventures where I've somehow been roped into helping ready blinds I may well never hunt.

Didn't text me anything of ducks, but did text video of flying specks and a pile of dead ones in numbers I've not seen in the flesh "since don't know when". Their "good ol' days" for specks are now.
Said we need to get ready, and I hope he's right. Certainly "ducky" out right now.

Give me this front's timing any morning after the east zone is open and I'll be driving 100mph north to Avoyelles parish. Sooo wonderful out this morning

Did, in fact, hear geese over our little burg when airing the bug in the dark for the first time this morning. Also took him to the country around LST intending to hike back to one of our blinds and play with some birds, but a t-shirt and hoody weren't enough for the weather at hand once out in the open field. Got about halfway in when I heard a distant bunch, stepped off the farm road, knelt and called them across and back - and said "enough". Being a lot younger and tougher, the bug wasn't ready to quit and tore up the countryside on the way back to the truck. Even cut a rut around the farmer's camp where we'd parked before reluctantly hoping in his box. Poor dog wants work.

But it's a looooong haul to our farthest blind on that farm, so I taught the bug to ride on a 4-wheeler yesterday morning. Having long made a point of keeping him well clear of them, it was quite the circus and a pretty fair wrestling match to get him to stop on the back rack, instead of jumping clear over the bike.
