Hi I am Drew and I am a recovering Skybuster!   :hello:

I am planning my season in advance by starting to gather several duck calls on Ebay and listening to Youtube videos on how to call. I bid on about 20 calls at a dollar each and won seven. The best ones so far as I can tell are  three Buck Gardner calls. There are some that have double reeds , but I don't know what the significance of that means. ( FEEL FREE TO CHIME IN)
There is also a stunning beautifully  hand crafted Griff call that sounds amazing ($.99). I am driving the family nuts with the feeding calls, hail calls.  :chuckle:
I also ended up with two mis-represented Goose calls.

I am still recovering from major foot surgery Jan 3 and have more than a month to go before I am allowed to put weight on it so I have loads of time right now. The outlook is really good and the doc says I will be better mobility than I have had for years. I was able to hike in for several miles before the surgery with a pack and decoy bag, so I should be good to go next season.  :IBCOOL:

My name is TheSkyBuster and I'm A sky buster  I have been diagnosed with a disease know as Accute Waterfowlethismós,

 Accute Waterfowlethismós is a phycological disorder common among males between 13 and 70 years of age but some cases have been reported in women and even certain breeds of dogs.  Very little is know about the causes of Accute Waterfowlethismós.   Accute Waterfowlethismós it is a very serious disease and it can have disastrous effects on a patients lifestyle and finances.  Typical symptoms include waking up in the middle of the night or early hours of the morning, wandering through cold wet or frozen marshes in the dark (often while carrying large amounts of gear) only to stop and arrange a complicated display of floating plastic waterfowl then attempt to imitate the sound of a duck by blowing into a call to decieve the ducks to fly close enough to shoot out of the air. These attempts are often made in vain.  Subjects also display a strong desire to dress themselves in thick, heavy, camo patterned clothing. Accute Waterfowlethismós has also been associated with uncontrollable impulse buying of certain items like decoys, calls, waders, guns, shells, meat smokers, and boats.  In extreme cases sufferers will empty there bank accounts to obtain these items. Other symptoms including being unable to concentrate at work, daydreaming, constantly checking the weather forecast and tide tables.  Sufferers of Accute Waterfowlethismós have been observed speaking a strange language with words like sprig, bulls, cans, divers, greenies, doubles, triples, and constantly asking when's LST? (legal shooting time)  Sufferers of Accute Waterfowlethismós usually experience these symtoms in outbreaks or "Flair-Ups".  Flair-Ups generally last between 4 and 6 months, during these months the patient will appear to be "In a daze" or "almost zombie like" escpecially when returning from the marsh. This is most likely associated with lack of sleep.  At times between Flair-Ups they may becomed bored or depressed.
 There is no cure for Accute Waterfowlethismós but length of Flair-Ups can be greatly reduced with the help of Bitchygirlfriend, Bitchygirlfriend is not for everyone, talk to your guide or hunting buddies to determine if Bitchygirlfriend is right for you. If you start taking Bitchygirlfriend and your symptoms worsen or don't improve bitchygirlfriend will probably immedietly discontinue use.  You should not take Bitchygirlfriend if you are already taking Bitchywife as serious health threats or death may result.

LMFAO!
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.

You forgot to mention the side affects of taking Bithygirlfriend.......chronic headaches, loss of sexual desire, fatigue, sleeplessness, irritability and the occasional desire to shoot yourself!!    :chuckle:

Glad I'm pretty much the only guy duck hunting where I'm at. . . People wouldn't like me very much!  :P

Good to hear you got yourself into the sport, it's tough when you're in close quarters with other hunters and trying to have a decent hunt for yourself without stepping on others' toes.  Sounds like you're on the way to becoming a successful hunter.

Thanks
I am hoping to get a little distance with the boat so I won't be pissin people off so bad. I guess the next set of ethics I need help on would be surrounding boating. If you hunt Terrell up North, give me the skinny before I get out there and screw that up too!

If anyone needs a great place for skybusting rehab here is a link to the best in Washington. Its a little bit of a drive but one weekend there and you will be shooting like a pro. If anyone does want some help shooting just let me know and I can point you in the right direction for some good local gun ranges.

Good school.  Talk about a guy who has experienced it all.  Was a champion then had it stripped due to substance abuse.  Unfortunate story, but he knows the game.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
