love that aluminum blind above it. :chuckle:
I've slowed down enough in my old age to finally let the game catch up to me

What is that the waste water treatment plant?  :o
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Yep, looks that way.  Re-purposed corn, talk about recycling.   :tung:  The other other green movement.

Back in my earlier days of duck hunting I shot mallards with a lot pf corn in their crops. I was pretty happy about that. "Cool- corn fed mallards!" :IBCOOL:

I got to thinking...wait a minute...there really aren't any corn fields for a long ways around here.
But there are a lot of dairy farms and cattle operations...

...uh...corn fed mallards...maybe not such a good thing  :chuckle:

There is a commercial feed lot a ways south of me, drive by it in the winter and early spring and there are a lot of mallards feeding there.
But then, who knows where else they feed?  We probably don't want to know.


 
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.
