RE: How did you get hooked on duck hunting?
I am blaming the teal. Was twelve years old, sitting in a rock pile in a cut corn field. The rain was falling, the fog was thick and was about 35 degrees. Couldn't have kept the teal out of that pothole with a hundred scarecrows and an artillery piece. I don't think I have ever had ducks come into a pond so well since, esp. since there were no decoys or camoflage involved. The fever waned over the years but was re-ignited when I finally got a really good duck call (same for geese), now I would be happy to call ducks into a spread and not fire a shot. Well, pretty much happy anyway
