The Slow Rode

Once again I have found my way to dry land.Once again I'm glad to be home and better yet it's still duck season.I had entirely to much to get done over the last few days so I have yet to put the boat in the water.I guess it's all part of being grown up,which I'm not a big fan of.So coupled with running around town for the last few days I have been preparing for this weekends get together with both of my brothers.The plan, which I have yet to completely figure out,is out of my hands.I have simply been told what to bring and where to be at what time.So as much as I wanted to get out this afternoon and try my new sea duck decoys I didn't make the time because it simply wasn't there.I decided to take the slow rode because next week the duck season comes to a close and I don't want to burn myself out.This all goes back to figuring out the reason I want to go hunting.Is it just to say I went hunting,if so then that's the wrong reason and I need to reevaluate how I spend my free time.This weekend should be fun even if the birds don't cooperate.The camera is packed amongst the 500 pounds of other gear so I hope I get some good shots and maybe a video or two.
