There were two mornings last year that left me in tears, as my dad had told me about places like that when I was a little boy. He told me there were places in Arkansas where the ducks would land so close in the timber that they’d splash water on me....and I didn’t believe him. Well, last year in one of their holes called “Model 12”...we landed over 3,000 mallards in the hole, and I literally had to cover my RED camera because they were splashing water on it. And I could feel the wind from their wings like a wind tunnel. We never fired a shot as the moment was so grand, and I was left in tears thinking about my dad.

Very interested. Boot Hill is loaded by the way. Most we've seen this early in a long time.

That’s what I heard. We had some seriously early winter storms this year in Colorado and Nebraska, and as it was occurring (I was in a tree stand), I have never seen so many mallards staging on the Platte and Arkansas Rivers in my life....

Hope y’all have a great season! How’s the water levels?

Mostly rice so we are good. As more fields are pumped the ducks are spreading out. Seems like the Specs moved on this week. The kids should have a fun hunt this weekend. Let me know when the video comes out. I will get with Chris B and find out who you are.

Sorry to hear that. My dad passed 17 years ago and seems like yesterday...

...one of the things I miss most of all are all those phone calls during the TN games. He was a HUGE UT fan and he LOVED Johnny Majors. Imma go did up a pic of my first UT football ticket stub.
