'The Money Shot' (again)

That's right, I have once again taken home the elusive $10 prize for shooting the first Greenie of the year! My only regret is that this particular Greenie was not that French Canadian bastard 'Greenie' that keeps hacking into our Blog and belittling us with his particular version of scorn and ridicule. How do I know? For openers, he did not once "Quack in my general direction". I'm sure we will again hear him bad mouth all things H7Ht but for now I can take some pride in the fact that he will have to attend the funeral of yet another one of his kin.

Day 11 sure was a good one. We took ole' Black Betty to the 'wait in line' part of Sauvies Island and were the very last in line. (Feel better soon Lisa) Apparently a 4:45am start is not good enough to get first choice. We did however get a good selection of blinds and chose MudHen 13. Even though that bastard dog Skip, AKA "goddamnit" (see Fred's photo from day 7) was across from us he had no impact on our slaying abilities. In fact the biggest problem was that no hunters were next to us at all on the left side. The ducks seemed to have a party going on over there and every duck wanted in on that gig. We did have several good fly-bys and took advantage of our chances. The reward? Two more ducks to the H7HT totals.

Stay tuned folks as the season is starting to heat up. The forecast for the next week calls for much colder weather and we all know what that means don't we? Ducks will be pushed down from Canada and Washington state to the mighty Columbia river. And of course you know who will be waiting for them, the members of the HOY7 hunting team.
GBCH.
