Hello, Fellow Duck Junkies! I was introduced to duck hunting in 1992 by my sweetheart! We spent 2 weeks in Alaska hunting sea ducks and I've been hooked ever since. I love everything about duck hunting. The entire experience is majestic. The sunrise, fog rolling off the water showing the silhouette of the decoys. A flock comes in cupped and committed , then someone shouts "take em" I get goose bumps! To me there is nothing better than being outdoors with great friends shooting shells & sharing laughs.
My favorite part about the Duck Junkies site is that it connects me with others who share my passion for waterfowl hunting! I love the discussions and the photos. So keep them coming.
I am Co-Owner of Wild About Fowl Wildlife art Studio, specializing in waterfowl & upland game bird taxidermy. Please feel free to visit our website at:www.wildaboutfowl.com Happy Hunting!

Update as of 1-18-09

Had a fantastic last week of hunting! Shane & I had three good days of
limiting big birds! They had finally arrived in the Etex area. This
was the follow of a weekend of frozen lakes & dramatic colder weather
to the Northern Texas towns & boardering southern parts of Oklahoma.
As u can see on the DuckJunkie website our products/revenge(pictures)
we had finaly recieved on all the waiting we had experienced in the
early season!!
It had paid off!!

Any other updates or questions about this particular area, pls share
with us!! Would like to know!

Tks
