Post 2 weeks and 2 days til Opening
16 days or truthfully about 9 sleeps, 4 restless nights and 2 alcohol infused comas until duck opening.

Can't wait.
Have a new spot we're going to try this year and as usual its a last minute rush to get organized.
Going to put a frame in the water and pull the boat up onto it and shoot from it. See how it goes before I build a permanent blind.

The stags have just about finished their roar and though I didn't shoot one I did have fun chasing them around the bush. Oh and I shot 6 or 7 hinds while I was at it. The most notable was with my daughter. We were heading in on a stag and found a hind so instead of spooking her and blowing the whole deal we decided to shoot her. Turns out there was 5 hinds there so after a few running shots I got 4 on the ground. Love the AR for that.

Good fun getting the kids out hunting.

LOL - "hind" ( Redneck or Cajun = butt )

Assume you mean "the female of the red deer" not a "British farm assistant"
or "the rear end of an animal"

Had to google the various definitions....

Cool shoot with the kids though - good luck on opener !

;)
