Christmas Morning Ducks


Duck Season comes around only once a year, I've convinced my wife that opening Christmas presents is acceptable only after the morning duck hunt. Thanks God for an understanding wife.


Don't ask me what happened, when I left Viet Nam, we were winning.

Even though it was a little slow, tradition dictates that we wear Santa Clause hats and stand up in the blind. Redheads and Pintails (to a lesser extent) don't seem to mind.

Excellent work! My wife would have my neck on my strap if I were to even think about slipping off to the duck blind on Christmas morning.

Excellent! My son is still young enough that he's awake and rampaging earlier than I could make it home so it'll be a few years til I can do the same.

What a great tradition! I love it! Well done.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
