That is an unreal amount of taxidermy.
In South Carolina they're dikes. Never heard a soul from around here call 'em a "levy". Not once.
He doesn't hunt in SC..

Photos don't do it justice. The carriage house is a shrine to a family's way of life.
The Pitt's have birds that can't be seen in a museum. Pat has more Blue Phase Ross' geese mounted than any major U.S. museum..
He has Stellar's, Emperor and Spectacled Eiders there in his house too.... those are among the best birds he has...
F**K Cancer
Just Damn.
Ducks, he doesn't hunt ducks in SC..

No argument there jiz
You've got one life. Blaze on!
Pat: Hey Phillip what kind of call is that...
Phillip: it's a echo ..
Pat: Ian, remind me to never buy one ..
Bwahahahaahahaha
Pat: let me see that call for a second...it needs more pitch in it....
Guest: here ya go...you gonna adjust the reed....
Pat: (pitches it out the pit) there, that sounds better...
Homeo, to say I'm jealous that you've had the opportunity to get to know that man personally, hunt with him, etc. would be a complete understatement. He's nothing short of a living legend. It really is cool as hell that you can say that he's a fellow friend and hunting partner. Sometimes, I guess I do envy Citadel guys
Man and other animals were first vegetarians; then Noah and his sons were given permission to eat meat: “every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you” Genesis 9:3
"A man may not care for golf and still be human, but the man who does not like to see, hunt, photograph or otherwise outwit birds or animals is hardly normal. He is supercivilized, and I for one do not know how to deal with him." Aldo Leopold
Bwahahaha. I knew ya had a little in ya...deep down beneath all that Orung.
He's down to earth as all gets. He'd take the shirt off his back if you needed it. He's truly Good people.
Jamie, if you can get away one weekend in the fall/winter and our schedules line up ...come out and hunt. It's been way long overdue anyway.

Good stuff, boys. While PP is far from the last of the breed, he may quite well be the best...
damn man, great pics.
One last memory, ( I will keep the rest for me)..
Pat was held in high regard by most of his cronies... he is not an easy many to "love" for most. He is intense. Someone once said he was part duck..
To prove it, he chopped the head off a Greenhead and stuck in his his zipper and posed as if he were urinating... Someone took a photo..
A few years back my friend Shep had moved to Cabot and needed a place to hunt. Pat took him on and they hit it off. He got a nickname like most new members - his is "Georgia" or "Big Cracker"..
For Christmas Stephen and I took a photo of us with Greenhead peckers sticking out of our trousers. We framed it and wrapped it in some festive Christmas paper... Pat like to have died laughing. We also gave him a case of his favorite Pinot Noir from Oregon. I am certain he enjoyed the wine more.

Damn fine stuff, nitro.
“… duckhunting stands alone as an outdoor discipline. It has a tang and spirit shared by no other sport—a philosophy compounded of sleet, the winnow of unseen wings, and the reeks of marsh mud and wet wool. No other sport has so many theories, legends, casehardened disciples and treasured memories.”
--John Madson, The Mallard, 1960
"Never trust a duck hunter who cares more about his success than his dog's."
That is known as an "Arkansas Tuneup"....
I have seen calls thrown up and shot out of the air.. folks don't normally take that too well...
F**K Cancer
Just Damn.
When shovelers or other "non working ducks" fly by, he stands up and yells, "food stamps, govt cheese, free phones" and all kinda other crap..
And prior to him talking trash about my call, about 5 mallards just maple leafed out of the stratosphere in response to it..
Don't ever wear your feelings on your shoulder around him..
Really great dude..
