I have never lived near a duck hunting venue, so I was a bit startled earlier this month when I woke to sounds of gunshots nearby. Apparently Lake Champlain is a good place to bag some ducks on their way south. Ducks: take note.
I was also amused and amazed at the effort that duck hunters expend to fool the fowl. Some construct elaborate blinds near the shore. Others just camouflage their fishing boats. Some add so much greenery that their boats look like floating islands. Add a few flowers and they would be ready for the Rose Parade.
I suppose that I should have grabbed the opportunity to experience duck hunting at its finest. I didn’t. But I will add it to my bucket list.
