The Day Dad Lost His Personality

Most duck hunters would agree that earning their first duck is a milestone, and it takes a few hunting attempts before they could get the hang of leading the bird to compensate for it’s speed.

It was not long before Christmas, when Matt Jordan and I decided to float the Little Pee Dee for an overnight duck hunt.
