 Re: $$$ per duck
I was engaged for 6 months and she said I went hunting & fishing too much I jumped ship and swam for the shore she's out there somewhere amongst the sharks. Get one that will go with you and you've got a keeper!!

 Re: $$$ per duck
My wife figures it is a small price to pay, at whatever the cost, just to get my boys and me out of the house! If we're not hunting, we're just bored, making a mess of the house, and irritating her and the girls.

 Re: $$$ per duck
Is Jodie related to Backdoor Bob? Price per duck is outrageous, but it is all about the quality time at the camp away from home:) Da wife likes da houseboat in da summer 2, so dat helps!!

 Re: $$$ per duck
Outside of Food and Shelter, our hobbies are the most expensive things we do. The cost of a duck matters little; it is the quality of life that is important. If you AND your wife have a good life and the children aren't starving what does it matter if a duck costs $20 or $200 or $2000?
Lets see:
New duck boat: $12.000 New truck: $ 36,000 (to pull the new boat) Shotgun shells: $ 225 2doz new decoys: $ 65
Then duck season comes around and the wife's mother gets sick and you don't hunt but once and then kill only 2 ducks because you are helping your mother-in-law and couldn't get away. Did the ducks cost $25,000 each?
If my wife asked how much they cost, I would probably say: WTF kind of a question is that? They didn't cost as much as they could have and they cost more than if I went hunting more often.
I try to give away every duck I shoot. I even pick or breast them in order to give them away. I love to shoot them but don't like eating them very much.
