BTW, Anat, in addition to your wealth of duck hunting knowledge, your sense of humor and ability to make folks laugh is always "significant" in my book ----would like to hear more from you.
Everyone always says there is nothing to really discuss in the "offseason". But, during the season, most of us who actually hunt and kill ducks, don't have as much time to post because we are hunting or preparing to go hunting. So, now really is a good time to discuss duck hunting, plans, issues, tactics, new developments, etc, as well as tivial pursuits and offseason entertainment.
So, post away.

You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.
