| Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Just a few more hours until I can get home and go through the final checklist, which is one of my favorite parts about opening day....just hunker down in the man-cave, checking the rigging on my decoys, duck hunting DVD on in the background just for the sound of gunfire and calling, and my lab wandering around anxiously, even though the poor little gunshy fella can't go. Just had lunch with my boys Clark and Miller Time to make sure we've got the gameplan for tomorrow, as I'll be acting as guide and had to give them a briefing. I've learned to enjoy and appreciate the planning and anticipation almost as much as pulling the trigger. I'm glad I've learned this at a young age, because it seems so many guys around my age are still all about the numbers, and not about the sport. Sad to see, really. Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Be safe, and bring a kid hunting when you can. - FloridaFowler

Fired up after our lunch man! We'll have a good time no matter what.
I second what you said. There's nothing better than having a good time in afield. It's not about the numbers, its about the outdoors and being part of it.

To all who are interested, I'm filing a couple of class-action lawsuits. The first is against Benelli. When you are reloading your gun so fast that it causes blisters, I think something should be done about the ergonomics and design. Secondly, I will be filing suit against Canon, as the pics I took of our limits, which included greenheads, Harlequin ducks, Eurasian wigeon, oldsquaw, California condors, and dodo birds (which the liberal science media would have you believe is extinct), did not capture. I'm considering including in that portion of the lawsuit the following parties: the makers of my SD card; LaFonda, who sold me the card at Walmart; and Al Gore, who invented the World Wide Web that also was involved in not letting me upload these pics. Finally, I might include God in this lawsuit, because his creation of corn and a duck's affinity for it was the cause of this scenario. I'll keep you guys posted.

| Had fun on the water, just didn't have any opportunities. Hopefully it will get better over the few weeks for some migratory birds to get down here.
