Hi Iam the author of this question.
I am 23 years old. I have been hunting ducks since I was 4. I have been calling ducks since I was 6. So 19 years going hunting,and 17 years calling. I study the birds year round,(if they stay the winter). I have taken new comers hunting with me many times. And I always walk a way happy. So do they. There is just something about seeing a young hunters face light up when they see the birds start to work,and then getting a kill. Or when you have a so called vet of the waterfowl sport tell you,I didn't know this would work after you bag your limit. And they say well you have taught me something.
I was raised on this great sport of waterfowling,and will always be a waterfolwer. Even at the young age of 23,I could care less if I kill the birds,I would rather call most days just to get the birds in for others to shoot. Don't get me wrong,I still get excited when the flock is almost all greenheads. But this sport is my lifes passion and I would just love to share this wonderful sport with others. I have been on this quest to be aguide since the age of 10. People always laughed at me when I told them what I wanted to be when I grew up,but to me it isn't funny,it is what I want to do.
Thank you for your replies.
And good luck next fall!
