I met new friends, hunted with old friends and even helped a couple folks get their firsts as well. LOTS to do for next year in prep. I can't wait. As an added bonus, my bigger Gheenoe is going to be a gator hunting menace. :-)
I spend last weekend with a fellow dad who I met though duck hunting last year. He and I took his son and my youngest nephew out for the weekend. My nephew had never shot a shotgun, never been in a marsh, never worn waders, never shot a duck and never even been in a boat in the dark. Lots of firsts for a 10 year old. He was a bit skiddish of course, but he stepped up.... BIG time.
Sat was a good hunt at Broadmoor. We stopped early for the kids but still ended up with 4 take home teal and 3 lost teal. Sun was a trip to Lake O. The birds did not seem to fly so... It was Coot shooting time! I think the kids liked that better anyway. Drive, coast to a stop... shoot and repeat.
All in all.. a great season for me AND my family. I even got the wife out in waders in Tampa bay one time. Thanks for all the support from this forum and my friends. I hope everyone else out there had a good season as well.
