Good luck and be safe

6 wood ducks landed about 20 yards away...too bad I only have buck shot because they are making a lot of noise

Liberty, MS
Temp feels nice bit foggy as hell.

Supposed to hunt until tomorrow but the wife, who is 36 weeks pregnant wants me to come home today. She 'has trouble sleeping' when home alone. Part of me says to leave so I don't have to listen to her emotional arse tell me that I'm selfish. Other part of me says, frick it, she's already pissed. May as well just stay.

What say ye, outdoor board brethren?

You already know the answer to this

This. But I'm female, so it probably won't count.

You think she is griping now, if she starts having contractions when you are in the deer stand, watch out

When my mom was going into labor, it happened to be opening day of dove season. Mom told my dad, I'm going into labor, he responded with....."first go make me a sandwich to take hunting." Second, "you're not going into labor, you just need to go sit on the toilet."
Needless to say, he went hunting and I was born. Marriage lasted about a year and a half. I still here that story.

So man, make a damn memory, be a story worth telling. Stay and hunt, you may shoot that 10-12 point tomorrow. No regrets!!

Do you pirogue to your stand or walk? After the 7 snakes I saw yesterday a couple parishes over from you, there is no fricking way I would be walking through that swamp.

This stand I walk. Most of the distance is an old oil tram that's dry and 30 yards with hip boots. Those block is too thick for a pirogue. Only way I can see >20yards is cutting lanes.

I have other locations that have no under brush and only mayture cypress and I push pole when it's deep enough. Early this year was dry and I had to walk. Snakes are everywhere and it sucks

ETA: One of the dog guys just shot. frick pushing the dogs because them guys see a lot of snakes

My second son was born at 37 weeks four months ago. It was a total surprise as no one expected it. We went in for a standard check up and her OB sent us across the street to the hospital due to her being dialated and baby having a high blood pressure.

Do what you will, but a hunting trip is not worth missing the birth of your first born five hours away. That day changes a man forever and you don't want to miss it. You don't get a second opportunity for a first time ever event. I suggest you pack up and surprise her home early and end up with third trimester sex this evening. You need to get it now because the park is closed for a while after that baby is born.
