Hunter did not make it home.

Posted October 30, 2009 • Flag!

There are days when the wind blows and the hunting is good, however the water is not so nice on those days.  every year or two in the delta a duck hunter goes out and does not make it back to the dock.  This happen Wednesday. about 5miles from where I hunt.  The wind was blowing 30 mph and this guy has not yet been found, they did find his dog and it is fine.  These stories I try and keep from my wife.  She always tells me it looks like a good day to stay home.  I will stay home when the winds get over 50mph.  I did one day get stuck in the wind when the wind made it to 70mph.  In the blind I'm safe and will stay the night if I have to.  Why do we take this chance?  We must love it more then life or it's not going to happen to me? I will be back hunting this weekend.
