Thanks for the info Moo. Now if we can get an arctic front to settle over the US from the Missouri bootheel to Canada in mid-Nov to the end of Jan. I have a feeling we are going to have the best hunting season ever. Funny thing, I'm on my retirement vacation in the BWI and I'm down here thinking about duck hunting. I bought some new hunting clothes on line to replace the stuff I have worn out. I used the Drake discount and saved 10%. I'm headed back to the room at dark to buy a new motion decoy that I busted at the end of last season. Crazy to sit on the beach and think about duck hunting! Over and out.
