As you can see.... Ritt was in the hospital on opening day.
But Jim, Ritt and Bill.... all made it and opening day to remember.
Bill and I arrived at 7:30 am in full camo with duck calls "quacking" down the hall to his room and decoys for his bed... The nurses knew the crazies had arrived!
The smile on Ritt's face was.... "Priceless"
"You two are crazy!"
Great Opening Day... No Ducks but a great SMILE!

Saturday Hunting Report
Just got the word!....
Bill and Gus floated the river from above the islands at Adrian to the boat ramp.
Teal and Mallards were dive bombing them! They were almost able to get a limit each... Bill is saying that Gus needs to be a little more patience.... Shooting at them to far out.
Talked to Ritt... Still pretty sick.. But is making plans for Wednesday. I am have my fingers crossed. I have really been holding off hunting, cause I want to start my year with my buddy. My prayer is that this will not be the last year we will hunt together. But we really will not know until the do the PET scan in late November. But his spirits are up...
Last year my goal was to get a Woodie...and have it mounted. (Got three at with two shoots...should be done later this month...I am excited to see them)
This years goal is to shoot a duck with my 28 guage.... But Ritt has to be there to witness it.... He and I have been talking about it since the end of the season last year... and all through his cancer treatment.

Hunting Reports
Oct 30.
Hunting has been slow in Idaho. I have been hunting the Snake River around Adrian, Ore, Ducks are just starting to arrive. My hunting partner Ritt is doing better. You see Ritt has terminal Cancer. This will be our last season together mostly likely. But we are still hoping with radiation and chemo that we might see a few more season... but only time will tell.
So our hunting days are number... Please help me make the best of these days. Send us your reports..... I am especially look for a goose hunting place.... Ritt has never hunted Geese and would like to have at least one good Goose hunt.
Thanks!
Hope to hear from you soon!
