Top 10 things I learned on my trip to Mahannah and Muscadine

Postby cwink » Fri Jan 02, 2009 3:46 pm

Went on my first trip to these two spots right before Christmas. Took my Brother In Law, My 12 year old nephew and my 18 year old nephew. Both who are new to duck hunting. Here are the top 10 things I learned.

#10. Jack's Country Kitchen in Hollendale MS (right next to Dollar General) makes a mean hamburger.

#9. There aint nothing on Highway 61 between Vicksburg and Hollendale.

#8. Two boys sure get fired up about jump shooting coots.

#7. The cabins at Leroy Percy State park are pretty nice.

#6. The draw procedure at Mahannah is back (you know) wards.

#5. You should really study ALL of the map icons before you select a hunting spot a Mahannah. A unit that is marked as "Uncontrolled water level" on the map. Might be a little deep for a short 12 year old to wade thru.

#4. Scouting works. Missing the first shot at the duck hovering over your decoys, while trying to find a place to land amoungst all the other ducks does not.

#3. Learn to speak Teenageise. Apparently, "Wait", "Too Far", "Let them get closer", "They are gonna land", and "Don't Shoot yet" are all words anxious teenagers don't understand.

#2. If by chance you get some decent shot at ducks that the teenager didn't see, Don't blow the shot .. :evil:

#1. If you tell the teenager that a duck is too high and he shoots anyway, and the duck falls dead from a golden BB straight to the heart.. You loose all crediability.

All in all it was fun.. For the boys anyway.. I learned alot and will do it again next year. They boys can't wait.

When I do get the rare occasion to provide guidance to my teenagers its pretty much the same way. :roll: Dont feel like the Lone Ranger on that subject. As we've all learned over the decades; hearing and listening are two entirely different things :wink: .

Keep'em out there, keep'em close, and keep'em near to your heart, they'll come around and be better for it! Thanks for taking those kids hunting, we need more of that.

Thanks for the report. I need to get back down that way one day. Lots of MS history in that place.

Just drop me off at Chuck's on 61 in Rolling Fork and let me wrap around a big ol' cheeseburger, or better yet, a plate of strangled eggs, sausage and cheese grits. And wash it all down with a chocolate milkshake!!
