just after legal about 20 teal landed in the dekes... had a new pup in training I was holding dog back.. my friend was with us helping/watching son. he shoots nowhere near birds.. they rise up... boom drops one.. gives gun to my friend...tells me HOLD THE DOG.. .he runs and gets duck...
asked him how he missed em on the water.... he said..matter of factly..." ya'll watch too much Phil robertson, I wanted my first duck in the air."

Some of my fondest come from my grandfather, he was my access to the outdoors, as my dad didn't and still doesn't care for the outdoors. Grandpaw passed away when I was in 5th grade. We made many a bass trip to the basin, speck trips to Grand Isle and rabbit hunts on some family land near Hammond. When he passed I lost that knowledge and access till I was old enough to find it on my own.
More recently I spent a week, a couple of years in a row, hunting pheasants alone on public land in Kansas with my dogs. Those were great trips...
