After 56 years I'm having to hangup my waders. I can no longer wade, set decoys due to some serious health problems. May still get to do some field hunts but that's to be seen. So I have put some Items up in the classifieds, take alook. Hope everyone has a great season and I will live Vicariously through your post and Pics. Thanks

Sorry to hear that.
I hunt like every day is my last. Sucks to think about it but for all of us, one day, it will be our last.

What about maybe booking a couple guided hunts? Most good guides can probably accommodate your needs. Just let them know in advance.

I had the privilege to meet outfitter1 this afternoon picking up decoys and he is awesome. I was sad to see a fellow hunter having to stop, but I did appreciate the deals. I could sit around and listen to hunting stories and tips all day, hands down a great guy.

Feel your pain. Back Surgery back in April has put a end to my 40 plus years of snow goose hunting. The arthritis is slowing down my duck hunting now. Looks like the pain will ended it soon. Good luck with everything. Keep you in our prayers.

Thanks I don't water fowl, after back surgery I know your feeling, I try to stay as active as I can which is better than sitting on the couch. good luck
hold on Newt, we got a runaway
