A Mallard hen chuckling at an adjacent lake

history channel documentary hd I want to watch them fly. I draw to the side of the street to watch wavy vees pass overhead, or on the far skyline. I even have a great time seeing them on TV.

I want to hear them out talk. A Mallard hen chuckling at an adjacent lake. On strolls, I quickly look the sky at the primary "ka-sound" of a Canada; snapping my head around like Blair in "The Exorcist." And, honestly, infrequently in light of far away pooch barks.When I was a child, I read each duck-chasing article Field and Stream distributed. I held tight every word composed by feature writer, Robert Ruark. In the mid Fifties, his stories of duck chasing with his granddad in the South in THE OLD MAN AND THE BOY whetted my desire.Then, one day, my Father declared I had achieved the age for shooting waterfowl. He demonstrated it in September of 1954.

Higgins Model 20 twelve-gage. I had made the major leagues!My dependence on Mallards and Canadas started at six a.m., Sunday, October 31, 1954, in a drafty duck blind on the Missouri River, a hour's drive South of Columbia, Missouri.
