Simple
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

The amount of waterfowl I turned into pep stick and jerky before learned how to cook is absolutely tragic.  Need some skin on duck breast's for the cast iron and some legs to confit back in my life :EAT:

I have an open seat Sunday if you want to come down. You can stay in my trailer. I’m taking Blake and Wyatt. Planning on going in OR up by Boardman.

Kebabs? Bacon wrapped poppers? Never ends around our place. Mixed blessins having the family enjoy waterfowl. Never goes to waste, but can also disappear before I get a bite.

very much appreciate the offer my man but I'll be out on the firing center chasing elk (🤮) with my nephew. We'll hook up before the season ends though for sure.

Went out last saturday evening/Sunday morning and picked up a couple limits.  My old lab bear is 14 now and much colder and he would be too stoved up, I imagine this will be his last winter.  He was able to snag a couple of the easier ones!

Special memories with the old boy! Still looks good for his age.

He is slowing down a lot this year, has never been a real duck dog but a hell of a friend.  He will go out and get them but has never been too enthustiastic.  Out of all my goldens (over 7500 birds on one of them conservatively) he has the best nose.

Why did crab creek dry up around Wilson creek area?  Only place I have seen a mother coot back in the day.  Farmer pumps high and dry with concrete dams that once pooled water for irrigation purposes. 
Don't read my post if facts hurt your feeling.

Upper crab creek was dry before the CBP and remains intermittent at times, usually during summer with high irrigation demands.  Also before the CBP there was never a continuous flow of water, only during spring runoff and high snow years.  When my grandfather won the farm in the CBP land lottery he told my grandmother to pick a piece with water (a couple small ponds) as he was off on a Tin can during the Korean.  Not exactly sure but there has been some changes around the Billy Clapp/stratford area that has diverted water from previous storage areas as well I believe.
