    I apologize for offending anyone. I really don’t but I don’t want my ESG score to go up or down, or whatever is bad.

    It really hit me with both of those guys what age does to you. My dad is 71 and buddy is 68. Ice and blinds and boats and having to pee and C paps and all of that. They were troopers, but age comes for us all, hopefully. The biggest thing, in my opinion, was the ability to hear a shot call and how antsy the lack of that ability makes you. My dad was drawing down on the lead duck in a group several times, and I had to RESPECTFULLY correct him.

    And yes, White Oaks is likely the finest duck hunting experience on earth. You can kill more in Canada, but they’re brown. You can kill lots in Nebraska or Mexico, or Texas with more variety, but it ain’t snowflaking through the treetops. If I had one hunt left on this earth, I think I’d stand in the Tennessee hole.

    “Old Man” is high praise in military families.

    My dad called his dad his “old man” and I assure you there was ample respect intended

    I need one more epic hunt and fishing trip with my old man pops, before it's too late.

    As high as the water is, I assume it won’t be an issue
