Ha ha there Bob---thats right-another day laying on my back.
We did see some struttung birds that day for the record. Ever seen any Ruddy ducks

They swim around parading for the females with their tail just like an ole gobbler does---its a sight to see. They actually strut !!! They are really small and do not have their colors this time of year so we never turned on them---we just enjoyed watching them strut their stuff so to soeak.
Its a real neat old school way of hunting.
Here is a pic to see how we do this----we are going in on a flock of canvasbacks here----we are in the middle of coots as we approach the cans.
Look how close you can get with patience!!!---and ya dont even need knee pads Porter !!!

just leaving tender boat on way into a float across bay.....

now another---a guys reaction to his first scull on some greaters and buffies----look at the expression on his face...hahaha
