    Hard to beat a good wood duck beat down. Hoping to go on a good one in the morning myself. Fine table fare as well

    Other than some very young birds, I never really see a wood duck that doesn't look absolutely gorgeous. Great pic!
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    you already posted it on the interwebs so it will be tough to sell now. What you could do is write a good story about the hunt and sell it to a publication. Anywhere from 50-500 bucks depending on words and what publication. If you are interested in that, let me know. I can point ya in the right direction.

    Great idea. Shoot me any leads you have. I’ll talk with my buds and see if they want to share the story.

    THere is a story in the words "Timber Fillets". You don't have to give an exact where to, how to, "we went hunting, shot ducks they are pretty, the end". We have all read those stories and are kind of white noise. If saw this photo with a story about timber fillets id read it. If it was sarcastic and kind of funny, id send it to Field Ethos. If it is nostalgic, South Carolina Wildlife. If it is a where to/how to, I'd try Carolina Sportsman. In all of these, don't get your feelings hurt if they say no. Id be happy to proofread and give advice for you or anyone that is thinking about writing/outdoor media. Just send me a PM.

    Funny story about editors, a mentor of mine sent a book to a publisher. One of the proofreaders remarked that he should try writing a magazine article before he tries a book. Little did he know that my mentor has been in Field and Stream, Infisherman, and Grays sporting Journal with regularity. He had written thousands of articles, won close to 100 awards, and already had an award winning book. Just because one person doesnt like it, doesnt mean it can't make someone else smile.

    I appreciate the advice.

    It’s hard to beat a good story and there’s no need of them going to waste when we have platforms to share.
