Reading about waterfowl hunting I've always noted the supreme importance of setting your decoy spread on the magic X where the birds want to be. On a recent trip to Saskatchewan, I finally found it: ...Geo

After galaxie and I set up on that X every morning for a for a week, I have relegated the Magic X theory to the same round file as Gil Stacy's String Theory of Turkey Calling...Geo

We are being hit with a huge cold front right now. Temps into the freezing, high winds, wind chills will be in the teens by dawn. I threw the canoe on the truck and the decoys in the back in preparation for a hugely successful hunt. Just to be sure, I spray painted a green X on the side of the canoe so the ducks will know where to land.

Thank you, Dennis. That horn butt, and the relief carving is impressive, to say the least. Actually, the whole of the gun is impressive.

Hey all, a bit off topic, today is our Pheasant Opener here in ND. But as some of you know we got hit with a winter storm. Where I'm at we got 14" as of yesterday, plus it snowed again last night (and it's still snowing as I type this). We're supposed to get another 2 to 3" today. But with the snow and winds at 25 to 35mph, I don't think many are going out. The snow is also drifting, that ain't good either. IMO, this will effect the birds somewhat. The snow should be gone by next weekend (will see!). But then, the roads will be sloppy as all get out. It may be awhile until things get back to normal. As far as the harvest goes, it's going to be a while also. We got so much rain here the last couple months, the ground is so soft that the farmers/ranchers can't get into the fields. They more than likely will not get the corn in until it freezes, so your looking at a lot of standing crop until November I would say. In short, I'd like to add.......this SUCKS!!!!!! Here's a couple pics I took today from my front door Good Luck all! Greg

But it surely deals with the mosquitoes.
