That stinks about the boat theft. Took my daughter hunting this weekend, her first trip (she's 11 years old). Been hunting with my 2 sons for 5 or 6 years now. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy another shotgun for her. Ducks finally showed up.. First split was bad. Our group took about 12 speckle-belly geese, and prolly 30-35 ducks over the weekend, so it's encouraging.
