Getting close

Duck hunting season opens on the 24th of this month and I spent 4-5 hrs out in the field helping to set up our blinds. Got out to the field and saw that I didn't need to bring my boots or wear my jacket. My son brought an Army Fatigue shirt and I wore it over my 2 t shirts but after an hour or two I was strippng down. My son had worn long under ware and I was LMAO when he dropped his pants to take them off. I asked how cold did he expect to be and he just gave me a look and shrug like he did when he was little.
We might have to go out next week end and if we do we're going to take the Monster with us. I'd love to see what he'd do with a decoy, probably try to put it in his mouth. This will be his first year to try duci and I'll have to cook it a few different was. I might even go phesant hunting this year as well. With the cost of food going out and bagging so fresh food and growing some veggies is a good way to go for me.
My biggest worry is: Will We Have Rain?
This is going to be our 4th yr of drought if we don't and California is still burning.
Oh, yeah, my ass has been kicked. Duck hunting is a physically demanding sport. Digging in your blind, camoflouge, carrying in decoys and the setting them out. Hiding your blind and having to rake up rice straw to carry back to the blind and to lay out on the trail so it doesn't get worn and look like an arrow pointing to us for the ducks to see. My legs and back are killing me but by January I'll be in great shape and able to nearly run out to the blind and carry in 2 shotguns and 8 ducks. Great time of the year, for me.
