It's happened for me, once, with duck calling, but I've felt it more often with folks fishing flies I've tied them. It's a great feeling to know that somebody believed in you enough to give it a go, and it worked out.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409883521642115031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-29823250517508069902009-10-26T15:24:06.706-07:002009-10-26T15:24:06.706-07:00You'll have the days when it all comes togethe...You'll have the days when it all comes together.

Make sure you get back out there this weekend with the friend, re-focus, and knock some birds down.<br /><br />And calling an animal, and doing it well, is an awesome feeling. I don't hunt ducks, but I have just recently started to hunt turkeys, and to be able to call one, and have it respond to your offering is an incredible feeling...SimplyOutdoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074585345161430068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-2335070047400967752009-10-26T09:59:14.808-07:002009-10-26T09:59:14.808-07:00Nice strap of ducks.Nice strap of ducks.sportingdayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01871216533973980940noreply@blogger.com
