Hubby had a good opening day of duck season - I'll be writing about it soon. <br /><br />In the meantime I'm trying to enjoy this time with my children and not wish it away too fast - I had hoped to be hunting some again this year, and then we had Goose so I won't get to go out any until next Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029860506890356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-78696293956317703742009-11-10T07:45:23.846-08:002009-11-10T07:45:23.846-08:00Congrats to thes gals!

Well written and enjoyable read here - always enjoy hearing of other women in the field and their successes. <br />Our opening day is nearly here ( IL southern zone) - but I am not feeling confident this year - we have high water and flooding to deal with ( hunt river bottoms and sloughs) and extremely warm temps.. just not seeing ducks yet - but the geese are coming in Gretchen Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536860716461787275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-75717694882929688732009-11-09T20:08:14.539-08:002009-11-09T20:08:14.539-08:00SimplyOutdoors, I'd be happy lend you my dog&#...SimplyOutdoors, I'd be happy lend you my dog's services...

I never lack for girlfriends to hunt with. Guy friends either. Man, life is good!<br /><br />Simply, some women (and men too, to be fair), just don't love hunting the way people like Su and Renee and Dawn and I do.

I always welcome ladies into our hunting excursions, and it's good to see more women joining the hunting ranks.<br /><br />I got my wife into it, I just wish I could instill in her the same zest for hunting that you, the ladies in your story, and I have. She likes to go, but it doesn't consume her, and because of that she's yet to score or kill anything.

It's a terrific sorority to belong to. To paraphrase Ginger Rogers - we do everything the guys do, and.... we do it backwards in waders that don't fit, LOL!SuBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100850180702965629noreply@blogger.com
