It has been a long duck season and my last day to hunt went out with a bang and a splash. Last Saturday I had to make a choice. Do I hunt the last day of muzzleloader and try to harvest a doe or do I go out for ducks one last time? One look into my dog’s eager eyes as I was preparing hunting clothes told me to go waterfowl hunting.

February has to be the longest month to a sportsman in any northern state, particularly an ice fishing fringe state. As I sit at my desk in Illinois on February 18, there is a weather advisory being issued in anticipation of -30 wind chills tonight. At times like this, I wonder if spring and warm weather will ever come, if the waters that are currently ice choked will ever be wadable. Of course, they will, but until it becomes a reality, I get through these dreary end-of-winter months remembering warmer, happier, fish filled days. Right now, my thoughts are drawn to last October, to a trip to North Riding Point Club on Grand Bahama Island for bonefish.

The day of December 6, 2007 is a date that I will never forget. It was a day that proved that putting in the time and sticking it out through the elements pays off, and it this case at least for me it paid of well. It was the last Thursday of rifle season and it also seemed to be the coldest day of the winter so far it was a high of 7 degrees.
