For low water openers you either find a group of folks you know to hunt with or end up hunting with whomever walks up after you’re there. We chose the former. Folks tend to move on when you respond to the question of “how many you got” with ten. Helped to have several good callers in the group.Darren wrote:And I thought my 2019 "party" hunt of 6 guys in the marsh was something.......

Sounds like a great time!

Friend of a friend of ours had brought his girlfriend (they hunted a different spot) who, being the social butterfly that she is, was chatting with several folks around the ramp. She went up to an older gentleman and asked if it was ok to pet his dog. He said certainly, plays with my grandkids all the time. Evidently the chessie didn’t like her personality or something. Growled, put his paws on her shoulders, and snapped at her face in a split second. Thankfully she’s quicker than most and was able to dodge the bite by an inch or two. Could’ve been ugly.

I landed so evenly on my upper back that miraculously I wasn’t hurt at all. Probably helped with all the clothing I had on. Provided some nice padding back there.Deltaman wrote:Glad you ended the trip with a decent hunt on big ducks, and I cringed when I read your slip and fall incident! Hope your shoulder wasn't damaged, and damn glad it wasn't your head taking the brunt of the fall!!!!

Friend of mine had a pair of these this weekend he let me borrow for driving the boat and picking up decoys. I went by and got a couple pair today. Figured I’d pass it on to all here.
