Lake St. Clair
 

Growing up with Lake St. Clair in my back yard, the ducks and geese were always around me. And my uncle was big into the duck hunting and always had me around. Being his retreiver most of the time....LOL

I went out my first time at 12 years old with a friend of mine and his dad, it was freezing, foggy, adn raining like nobodys business. Then that first flock came in a i dropped a teal with my break-apart single 12. It absolutely changed my life and now i go duck huntitng at every oppurunity i can get. I dont think theyre is any sport more pure or enjoyable im just hooked and i love it!

When I was 12, my dad had a Chesapeake Bay retriever that we dove hunted with. After that I loved messing with dogs. At about 20 I got a Lab and started training. He's an awesome dog. I started running hunt test with him. The hunt tests are mainly based on Duck hunting. So after that I started duck hunting. I Love to watch the dogs work. Its not so much the ducks to me as it is the dogs.

As a kid I was obsessed with outdoor adventures of all kinds. I read every outdoor magazine, like Field & Stream, etc., many books about the outdoors or hunting, and constantly read and dreamed about hunting of all kinds. When I was growing up, there was a Herter's store nearby. At the time, old George Herter used to write wonderful descriptions about the gear for sale in the catalog, and I remember even poring over the catalog for hours on end.

My father hunted deer and pheasants, but not waterfowl. When I turned 12 I bought my own shotgun, a Winchester Model 50 autoloader, spent the summer shooting trap in a trap league, and persuaded my father to take me duck hunting that fall. I got some decoys from Sears or Montgomery Wards, can't recall, that were paper mache. It took a long time for me to shoot my first bird, but that didn't matter, I was hooked on quack before I even stepped into the swamp that first time!!
