First Or. Hunt of 2013

Ladies and Gentlemen, last Sunday, Fred G and myself ventured out to the Old Old Spot and secured the 'point' to slay.  We went to slay for Odin.  In years past, we have gone killin' for the King.  This past Sunday, we went killin' for Odin.  Odin was a mix of Husky and something something something.  He was Katrina rescue dog, that for obvious reasons, didn't enjoy the water.  But nonetheless, was the obedient companion of our good friend Lynnette (and faithful Blazer buddy of mine) for many years.  He went to eternal rest this past Sunday morning.  With the H7HT's dedication to Odin's memory, we ventured into wonderful conditions.  Cold, slight wind, perfect water levels........spooking flocks of mallards while setting up.  Wikky was tipped in honor and CIL'n time came.   Yup.........we saw some ducks.  In fact, even a couple Pinnies responded to Fred's whistle and would've added to the tally if it weren't for those stupid Brants.  But anyways, good times were had and sammies (elk, pork, turkey and blue cheese meatloaf wrapped in bacon on a toasted bagel with 2, yes 2, fried eggs) were devoured.  Not quite sammy of the year (needed salt), but still delicious.  Right now, I am packing to visit our friends in California to hunt 'pit style' blinds in the rice fields outside the Develin Refuge in Northern Cali.  Hopefully, it won't be 75 deg. like last.  However....I plan to slay.....I plan to come home 'expert'.  Look out u'da'ho!  The seasons winding down and the target has been set!

Thank you sooo much for the tribute to my forever dog Odin. To have the Wikky tipped in his honor and that Sunday was Kil'n for O, is a true gift that I will always remember. His last meal also happened to be the very same bacon, blue cheese, pork, elk meatloaf featured in the sammy's. He didn't think they needed salt and are contenders for Sammy of the year... thank you much.. I am grateful.
