The New 'Expert' Stats

There have been changes, big changes.
Shoot Me!
The 'Expert' title has long been the coveted reward for a season of hunting that surpasses all others on the H7HT.  Not only does that individual hold claim to being the best hunter of the group but also gets to make decisions that affect others in the group.  Where to hunt, how to set up, who sits where. It's basically a license to act like Trump.

Traditionally the 'Expert' has been decided by who has shotten the most ducks. (Usually someone other than Bob D. Remember he only shoots greenies)  Then Clider joined the team and the rules had to change to reflect the times. That guy shottens everything! Last year we tried handing the 'Expert' title to the person who downed the most greenies, which should have been me, but wasn't. Clearly the Idaho chapter has the best opportunity to shoot the most ducks and the most greenies.  Simply stated, we have more hunting and less pressure than those Portland guys. It's almost unfair that way. Something had to change.

Well, this year is going to be different. To quote Ty Webb 'See your duck, be your duck, make, make your future'. The 'Expert' will be determined by who shoots the most drakes.  Now we will have to look to see which is the drake in the group and take that shot. After all, who wants to shoot a hen?  The maker of more ducks should stay in the sky while the rapist drakes should take a fall.  This is a challenge we can all take.  I think this is a great way to determine the 'Expert'.  The updated Totals Board on the left side of the blog reflects the new system so keep an eye on that for current knowledge on who holds the 'Expert' title day by day.  I can only hope that my column for drakes holds big numbers while my other numbers are empty, stay tuned.
