Rules to Successful Santee Duck Hunting

1. You must have a long tail mudmotor so that it is an extreme pain in the ass if you get out of the main run or try to find ducks between flats. Lack of reverse adds to the overall misery of your experience as does the mind dulling "speed" and lawnmower sounds your engine will produce.

2. If you read on the internet that someone actually killed a duck then you must call all of your buddies and immediately try to find the spot where the duck was killed and camp out on it for no less than 3 days.

3. If you don't read Sunrise on the Santee 25 times, you cannot possibly hunt ducks in Santee. The tips and tricks for water shooting ducks could really come in handy in case you happen to run across a lost tamie.

4. No less than 7 days before Opening Day, you will have your spot staked out on the lake in hopes of shooting some of the tamies that are run off the SCWA impoundments. This will be your last real hope of shooting any mallards so if you don't have your hole secured a week in advance, you can forget it.

5. No matter what Nab says, mergansers are not ducks.

6. All wood duck shooting will be done before and after legal shooting times. Do not be an idiot and go to the easiest spot on the lake to get caught. Put some effort in and get at least 1 mile away from your own cabin.

7. In the event you do kill a duck, you must take 50 pictures of said duck and post them up on SCDUCKS or no one will believe a word you say. If said duck is a mallard, you will need to include closeup pictures of the head, breast, and feet so that the resident "experts" can argue about the genetic history of said duck.

8. If, for any reason, you should actually see a flock of mallards fly over headed to Two Rivers, you will at once consider the hunt to be "like the old days" and you will tell everyone that you are "On Em".

9. If you find yourself set up and there are no boats within eyesight, you will immediately leave the area and find the crowd. The crowd will be On Em, too.

10. If you get within 300 yards of any private impoundments and skybust, you will consider yourself to be a died in the wool swamp rat and at the top of your game.
