We all have those few friends that we hunt with almost every time we go out. The dedicated few that will knock on your window when you forget to set your alarm, sleep in the bed of a truck on weekend trips with you, and those that will give you there sweatshirt and second pair of socks after you fall in. Those that chip in for gas, carry decoys, clean birds, and loan shells when you are having an off day. Those exact friends that will give you crap every chance they get for missing an easy shot, rub it in your face when they shoot better than you, and tell you they will miss your dog more than you come the end of hunting season. And lets not forget our hairy 4 legged friends who save us possibly miles of walking retrieving our birds faithfully every year.

So here is a toast to those that we hunt with and making hunting the enjoyment that it is!

Here here!

Well said!

Outstanding. Made me think of a few specific guys.

made me think of me.

That's what it's all about. Nice to have ducks on the strap, but the time with good friends is more valuable !

I have a couple of them that helped me out this year. I had to leave most mornings at 7:30 to go to work. They cleaned the birds for me and helped a great deal. THANKS BUDDIES

GREAT POST!!! I have some friends that fit this description - thankful for them!!

CHEERS!!!!!!

CHEERS!!!!

To my son
We might not have killed every duck that buzzed the pond or
cupped to land or limited out everytime...... but we had a blast tryin'

Well said!!

Amen brother, that's what its all about.

True. But I don't say goodbye til next season, there is still fishing season and plenty of bbqs to clean out the freezer for next year.

Funny how it works out like that, if that is not happening, then probably not a good hunting partner. Except my dog, I give her no crap and she gives me none, but she is the only one!

Same here! took my 13 year old with me this year and we had a blast. I love getting up with him at 3am and sitting around for 2 hours in the pitch black just bonding. We had some good times this year.

On the other hand, I am going to have to find new duck hunting buddies next year. We have always hunted public and it was fine. They got on a lease so didn't hunt public as much this year. I held down the spot and had good luck....but, then when the ducks disappeared on the lease, they came back to public and didn't want me bringing out anyone. They are stingy with their ducks. To me, it's all about hunting with your buddies and everyone having a good time. They can have that spot, and I'll find another spot, and other hunting buddies.

Amen! Got to go out with my son and my dad this year, first time for a 3 generation hunt.

I am moving to Fort Worth in June and will be looking for new hunting partners as well. Keep in touch.
