Another hunting trip

Went on another hunting trip the past weekend. Went back to the same place as before. Just on a different hill. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I saw 4 deer in 3 days. Never before have I had a worse season than this. I'm used to at least seeing 15-20 deer a day. All does of course. But it was a good trip all the same. This time it was just my dad and I. The kids wanted to stay home this time. Which was fine with me because it gave me an extra day to go hunting. It also gave me some time to spend with just my dad. So it was fun. We did a little bit of talking. Not a lot but hey at least we talked.

Nothing spectacular happened this time like the last time. No crashed vehicles or anything like that. Although my uncle called us on Sun. morning to ask where we were at on the mountain. Apparently he shot his deer on Sat. at the club. So he was going to meet us at our spot. His season lasted an entire 90 minutes. Shooting time was at 6:30 he got his deer at 8:00. A 2x3 buck. But it wasn't mine or my dads so I won't bore you with the details.

So this afternoon SR asked me the silliest question. She asked me if I had enough decoys for duck hunting finally. That would be like asking if a woman had enough pairs of black heels. Of course not! She said that I have tons of decoys now. What else could I possibly need. Well let's see here. I currently have about 5 dozen duck decoys. 2 dozen mallard, 1 dozen pintail, 1/2 dozen green wing teal, 1/2 dozen widgeon, various decoys I've found over the years, some feeders, sleepers, and flyers. She bought me a decoy bag last year that holds 8 dozen decoys. So I NEED at least 3 dozen more.

Then there are goose decoys. 2 dozen honker shells. 1 dozen honker "socks". 8 dozen honker silhouettes. 2 dozen snow goose "socks". 1 dozen spec shells. I NEED at least 1 more dozen spec shells. 2 dozen spec silhouettes. 200 snow rags. 2 dozen snow shells. 1 dozen spec floaters. 1/2 dozen honker floaters. 2 dozen honker full bodies.

So as you can see there is still a long ways to go before I have what I need. That's just decoys. There's still jackets, waders, calls, boats, dogs. The list is endless. Just like black heels to a lady I can NEVER have to much duck hunting equipment. Sorry to those ladies out there that don't wear black heels. I'm in no way trying to be patronizing or stereotyping.

One last little tidbit of good news. SR got her schedule changed at work. So she is now working M-T during the days. And Fri. nights. That means that I will be able to attend my men's group meetings on Thu. nights! Isn't that great news? I'm so happy about this. I can't wait to go this Thu.

Just for those of you that are keeping track (not that there are many) our sex streak came to a screeching halt after I posted about it last. Went from 3 times in 7 days to once in 10 days. So there really isn't much to be jealous over. It just has it's ups and downs like every other relationship out there. I just wish it wasn't MY relationship. But then again I guess everyone thinks that.
