Ducky

I'd rather talk duck hunting than fish but that's me...I would love to pheasant hunt.

Deuce says thanks for the compliment....he is 9 years old and had the day off today...It is my favorite bird meat whether tame or wild...We got another 8 today but should have had our 12 easily...The dog wasn't with me today...I use Deuce to flush them if I know for sure they are in the area and I can't see them and he retrieves them...otherwise he walks about 8 yards in front of me and smells every blade of grass in his way...I dropped one today and had a hard time finding where it fell, could have used him but I eventually found it with only a broken wing...he is approaching 700 lifetime water retrieves though.....we've taken 27 ruffies the last 3 times we were there....an hour and 15 minute trip from my driveway until we load the guns on a VERY rough road...it is an old logging road that is no longer maintained and the beaver are everywhere in there so there is LOTS of water coming over the road in some places...going for ducks on Thursday and ruffies again on Friday. My buddies are trying to get me to go out for walleye as the big ones are in the river but I would rather pull the trigger.

Me, my dog and 12 ruffed grouse from Oct. 15/2016.

He isn't good enough to beat out Wheeler, Connor, Laine or Ehlers....He sat in the pressbox last game. They played him with offensive players ALL preseason and he does quite well and then the season starts and they play him on the 4th line and then sit him the next game? Before the Little injury, I had him on the 3rd line with Perreault and Connor. He played with Perreault and Laine for a big part of the preseason and didn't look out of place...They played Chris freaking Thorburn in his place (6 minutes of playing time) last night! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MZ4w1aJeiw They played Ehlers with Matthias and Burmistrov for God's sake... I'm not sure what management is thinking but I would be pleasantly surprised if the Jets make the post season this year.

Went out with a buddy about 75 minutes north to a little marsh I know of on the west side of Lake Winnipeg. We had 9 ducks when just before dark the mallards starting coming in like crazy....we could barely reload in time for the next flock...we dropped 5 more and decided to pick up and call it a night....3 minutes of legal shooting left...we are in the water pushing the boat out of the reeds with our guns cased when mallards and Canada geese started landing in the decoys!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could easily have shot 2 more ducks for our limits and put a good dent in the geese but it was nice to watch as we picked up the decoys. Going for ruffed grouse in an hour or so. I LOVE this time of the year.

Both are better than Pavs and Armia was supposed to be Laine as a rookie.

Pavelec AND Peluso sent down....HOOWAH!!!!! Armia, Connor, Tanev and Morrissey are the rookies to start the season... Armia on 3rd line because Staf is 2RW...

Yak has the last say in that and i wouldn't want him on my team. There's a reason he only brought back what he did. After Yak, 7 of the next 8 players drafted were D men...how would the Oilers look with Lindholm on their D?

He looked good but hard to tell with RNH not playing and checking that line...It was the top line as Ehlers Scheifele and Wheeler weren't dressed...he played just over two periods with Laine and Little and the 3rd period with Laine and Perreault...Probably play with Perreault and Laine for the last pre-season is my hunch. He will make the team but I can't see him beating out someone in the top 6. sidenote... The Jets D looked atrocious last night and Myers was about the 2nd worst of them all. This means that Stuart Morrissey Postma and Buff outplayed him! Besides Buff, none of those D men should be outplaying him. Chiarot was barely playing at a junior level.

Armia is getting a big chance to shine tonight playing with Little and Laine.

He bought a track suit and they won't let him wear it...

His agent is playing hardball and this is/was his only move. If he is traded, I have faith in Chevy to get fair market value. Look what the Oilers gave up to get a 2nd pairing D man... Overhardt is a dick (can I say that?) that isn't really doing the best thing for his client. Better now than when we are contenders though.

Not that I am aware of...

Sorry, yes cocaine and alcohol.

I'm not sure if you guys are up on the Setoguchi story but he mentioned Kane in an interview... They knew I was kind of in a tight spot, they knew something wasn’t right," he told TSN 1290. "Thorbs (Chris Thorburn) came over a couple of times. Kaner (Evander Kane) even came over a couple of times and dumped booze right out of my house. The guys were all good.

My hunting partner with some ducks we shot this evening. I was out last night with another buddy and we only got four but I saw where they were flying and we set up there this evening. It was a wise decision.

Went out yesterday by boat and only got 5 ducks between three of us.

Come on down, we'll get you into some birds. Erika and Trevor and a friend went out to a field after this hunt and shot 11 more mallards and 22 more geese that evenimg. It is raining today so I won't go out until tomorrow morning.

An old hunter and two dogs.........can you tell which is which? A buddy for over 40 years and I and two others went out this morning............I didn't get a bird until after 9:00 am!!!!!!!! I only ended up with three but should have had at least 8.....the big goose came in really, really nice. Back at 'er Saturday morning out of a boat, this was just shooting off of shore because there were four of us. The black lab got the majority of retrieves and teh Golden only got 4 ducks and a goose. I wouldn't let him go after the easy ones and it was killing him but Erika (who out shot the 3 guys) had her lab out for the first time ever and I thought it would be better if he saw a lot of birds................the retrieves he couldn't or wouldn't get, mine did.

Beerme1 will need one soon... Tell Kaner to stay home until he is traded...keep him away from the youngsters.

thanks

I had my annual bash Saturday night and couldn't watch it but have it on the PVR...........I have watched about 4 or 5 songs.....Is it me or is the band louder than the singer and he can't really be heard right? Does the sound get better? I have it on the CBC and not sure if anyone else carried it? I had two tickets for me and my better half for a concert a few years back but gave the ticket to a friend and she went with my gf....I wish I would have bought three tickets now.

A delicacy when smoked properly.....buddy caught his limit this morning (10). Similar to a Mooneye but the dorasl fin is back farther. https://www.google.ca/search?q=manitoba+goldeye&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiPpu-ZibPOAhXm5oMKHaSZDi8Q_AUICCgB&biw=1600&bih=812#imgrc=QgC4pWgIYtTxeM%3A

I haven't been out but buddies are telling me that the Channel cats are biting like crazy. Many masters (34+ inches) being caught every outing. Goldeye are starting to run also. Another 6 or so weeks and the walleye will be making their way back into the river.
