When October comes around the air will be cooler and old men, young men and even some women start getting ready for the hunting season. They will begin by cutting the marsh reed used to make a duck blind (A room made of grass to hide from the ducks). This grass is called "ro-zoo". Then after duck season there is Deer hunting. I have never been hunting and don't plan on doing it anytime in the near future.








Carving decoys

In the early days hunters carved their own decoys. Now they can buy them at Wal Mart. Now they carve them for Competition. They create decoys that look just like the real thing.

The Hunt

Clinton Bridgeman and Joseph Griffin are having a good time. Even if the temperature is below freezing and it is raining.. That is why you have to LOVE it.

Coming back home.<>

Look at the ducks they killed. Now they will get the wives and mothers to pluck the feathers and cut out the internal organs. Then they want the ducks pot roasted and served on white rice with yams, roasted potatos, and a tart for dessert.
