Title: I'm pouting, but feeling a little better
Post by: 2eagles on January 21, 2014, 12:44:02 PM
I'm almost to tears today because I should be in Texas on a duck hunt instead of here at home in Iowa where the temp probably won't hit 10 degrees.  We've never done a guided duck hunt and were looking forward to a good time until the guide called and said most all of the ducks had migrated North and recommended we apply our deposits to a hunt for next year instead of wasting our time and money coming down now.  Good of him to offer this.  So while I was surfing the net, I came across this site.  It has truly cheered me up. (a little)  I've been hunting for 50 years, but only started hunting turkeys a few years ago.  Learning from a friend and applying what I've learned deer hunting, I have been having a blast chasing turkeys here in Iowa.  This forum looks like a lot of fun and I'll bet I might learn a thing or two.  My best advice to others is to get out there and have fun!

Welcome aboard!  Sorry about the trip, but says a lot about the guide to me that he is honest and did not let you come down and not have any ducks!
