Posted By: Paul – Kiker Guest Pee Dee 01-31-2007 01:16 – – – It was a great season.Not as good as some, but certainly not as bad as others. I guess I should have, but I didn’t keep a count of the numbers bagged. I just enjoyed hunting with old & new friends and their kids. Having the kids along and seeing their reaction to birds landing in decoys was very rewarding.Probably the best part of my season was with my wife. We took a trip to the midwest and kicked about in smalltown, USA in several states, visited with old friends, made new friends, and I hunted a little along the way. Did not want to come home.
