After 58 seasons, finally hanging it up. The dogs will miss waterfowl hunting more than me, I think. I have tons of camo clothes, waders, hip boots, general duck hunting gear, gloves, hand warmers, calls, a few shotguns, rifles and handguns, several dozen dekes of varied species (Mallards, Teal, Wigeon, etc) plus some honkers shells and FBs, that I'm going to be selling if anyone is interested. PM me for specifics please. I don't have a list made up yet, working on one.

Glad to see you posting again! Hope the health is ok and you'll be able to enjoy a hunt or two in the years to come.

Pm inbound.

I tried to PM you, but it said over the limit.

Tried to send ya one

I'm interested in any firearms you may be selling

You don't think you'll get the urge to go again next year. Maybe just a few times? Something about the words "finally hanging it up" is tough to understand.

Hope all is well

^yep I'd be happy to buy a gun from you for the sole fact of seeing you use it again, we've never met but I have alot of respect for you and would make it easy for you to continue the sport feel free to pm.if you really want to get rid of your stuff pm me about dekes and calls, or any A5s you may have!

Over your pm limit - can you send me a message about a bulk purchase?

Me too please

put my name on the list

Anyone interested in pics please e-mail me your name and e-mail address at swfsinc@aol.com.

I thank your for the kind words but there comes a time in ones life when they have to recognize it's simply not smart to continue doing something that is life threatening. Hunting with a surgical mask (I camo'd one ) and with oxygen tubes stuck in my nose, is not only against doctors orders, it's plain foolish. We've bought another home on 3 acres with a swimming pool on the far south edge of Sherman. Dogs will still be able to fetch bumpers and get to swim whenever they want to. They will be happy and I'll be minutes away from the health care providers. Wifey person is thrilled too.

I'll be getting an exact list of the decoys today or tomorrow and have that avilable too. Still have some up at the wetlands property and it's been too wet to get in there to pick them up.

I've cleared my old messages but still request that you send an e-mail with your addie so I can easily send pics back to you. Thanks.

Good luck Jim, hope things turn around for you and you can get out ever now and then for a hunt. You can hunt with me any time you are up for it.

I hate to hear that you're hanging it up but I'm glad that you're doing it on your terms. I've enjoyed reading your posts. You've always been polite and helpful, a 'gentleman hunter.' Godspeed!

Yeah, Cappy, this is tough to read.
You've been a mentor to a complete stranger. I always envied your dream spread and dog ponds.
Got to know your dogs' names even.
Godspeed. I hope you find yourself in a blind again.

Just want to 2nd the posts of some of the other guys, I've always enjoyed your posts and input to this forum. Good luck and take care.

Good luck to you. I would like to see a list of forsale items. Terrydbrantley@yahoo.com

I just sent you an email. Hanging it up is a tough decision but I'm sure its one that we all will have to make sooner or later. I hope you continue to post.

That had to be one hard trigger to pull. Best of luck at the new place!

I lost my lanyard with three duck calls this year. If you have some calls to sell I am interested.

Good luck sir. 58 years is a lot of waterfowling. That's a lot of ducks, a lot of dogs and great memories. I hope to see my 58 years of chasing ducks as well.
