Gentlemen of the blind.....
I come to you today to help you all through a very tough time. As most of you realize, for the majority of us, duck season ends next Thursday (1/11). I know, I know......it's a sad day, and unless we do something to truly remember this season, many of us will suffer great depression until next fall.
That is why I am asking each, and every one of you to make a stand next Thursday. Stand up to "the Man", stand up to "the wife", stand up to whatever responsibility that normally takes priority 365 days a year and push it aside so that you may spend one last day in the duck blind.
When the Spring flowers begin to bloom, and you glance over at your decoy bag, or lanyard of calls.....you will not do so and think, "Man, I sure am glad I went ahead and worked that last day of the season!" NO, you will sit there and wonder about what could have been! Perhaps THAT day you would have gotten your first band, perhaps THAT day that elusive pintail would have came into your spread just begging to be harvested, perhaps THAT day a memory would have been forged that would last forever.
Fellow waterfowlers, your "sick days" at work were refreshed as of 1/1/07, NOW is the time to use the first one! Dang it, it's the American way! Do you think Daniel Boone would have went to work versus a good hunt? Heck no! And why should YOU? Look deep inside you and do what's right!
We must unite! From the fields of Hancock County, to the banks of the Wabash! From Mississinewa Reservoir to Stillwater Marsh. From the White River to the local honey hole. From every homemade duck boat, to every duck blind tucked in the cattails!!! No mater where you do your duck hunting, let shotgun blasts ring across the great state of Indiana!
7:35am - 1/11/07 - Will you be getting your Starbucks on the way to work, or squeezing that trigger on the locked up greenhead as he comes into the spread as legal hours begin? Think about it gentlemen..........think about it.
