Good news and Bad news on the home front today. First the Good news.
Yesterday afternoon Dallas and I went to a new spot on Killarney Lake. We had scouted this area a couple days ago and had once been to the far side of the lake in an ill fated attempt to hunt the rice fields last year. We borrowed a small jon boat and rowed out to a point on the other side near to the launch. Without a motor exploring the far side of the lake would be nearly impossible so we settled on an area we had seen the day of our initial scout trip. The reeds were 8ft tall and made for good cover so we set up a few yards off shore and pulled the boat in.
It was warm and sunny, not a good forecast for ducks, as we waited for the hours around sunset. We did not see a single duck until one flew into the spread and landed with a splash. Dallas jump shot and missed and that was the extent of the action we saw. About 15 min after sunset we pulled up and started the row back to the dock. In typical fashion 5 or 6 flocks of ducks flew right over the area where we had been just minutes before. We watched from the boat as the last light of the day illuminated ducks and geese making their way to the shallows for the night. Next time we stay longer and come when the weather is bad.
Now the Bad news.
My Heston Damned clutch is shot. Not able to fix it until next week when the parts get here. This means no more solo hunting for 'The Expert' unless I get a ride or can figure out teletransportation in the mean time. Stupid Truck!

Did I drive your truck?
You are making my mouth water with this talk of slaying.
No. I said the clutch was broken, not the chair.
Worry not young slayer, your chance to take my title is just a week away.
