"U might be a Waterfowler..."

[Branta]

Is it wrong to Think and then map out "how many Cabelas outlets can I hit on my way out to SoDak?"

I think not... you're a watefowler, right?

So in the vein of Foxworthy's "you might be a redneck", what other observations can be made about us Waterfowlers.


(and the answer is 6 if you're interested!) :p

not including G.M.'s, Sportsmans or BPS!

[shark6]

If youre not whining about all of the snow and rain because deep down inside in places you dont talk about at cocktail parties you want the snow and rain you need the snow and rain because you understand that it will raise the water table thereby increasing waterfowl production and places to hunt.

[quote=Branta;2063625]Is it wrong to Think and then map out "how many Cabelas outlets can I hit on my way out to SoDak?"

Thats funny, I had to meet a guy in Illinois at a Bass Pro to pick up a boat and when I mapped it out found out there was 2 more on the way. Of course I had to stop

When your driving down the highway and your scanning the sky and cut fields for birds you my be a waterfowler!

[Branta]

Dahms, that's me for sure. not a drop of sheet water goes unscanned!

What's bad is when your 7 year old nephew calls from Colorado to tell you;

"Uncle wuss, I saw geese today. and two had bands!" -waterfowler in training, I tell you. :p

[Quaaack]

When your driving down the highway and your scanning the sky and cut fields for birds you my be a waterfowler!


This time of year and in the fall I can honest say my eyes are on the skies and fields more than the road.

U might be a waterfowler if you schedule sales calls in you territory that are conveniently loacted by or on the way to spots you want to scout for the next weekend's hunt.:evil:

U might be a waterfowler if you you carry a duck or goose call in your vehicle all the time!:D

[firenut8190]

My boy will walk the dog or ride his bike down to the local community center ( all loaded with bird) with his call and when he gets back he tell me how he makes the old people that are watching the geeses mad when he blows his calls.:D evil kid.

You might be a waterfowler if you enjoy getting stopped at Red Lights so you can practice calling with two hands rather than just one.

You might be a waterfowler if you're on the river fishing and your head snaps strait up every time you hear whistling wings.

You might be a waterfowler if you watch the weather channel hoping for cold/wind/rain/snow.

U might be a waterfowler if you schedule things like weddings and births in the "off" season (guilty)

If your vehicles have ever set outside because the duck boat or decoys have filled the garage, U might be a waterfowler (guilty)

If you have put more thought into naming your boat than your kids, U might be a waterfowler. (guilty)

You might be a waterfowler when driving down the road and the kids till you to put in a CD and it's Geese gone wild!

You might be a waterfowler when your seven year old daughter tells you geese are feeding in the field behind her school.

[BeWild]

You might be a waterfowler if you scheduled classes on Tuesday ans molded your class schedule around your fall hunting schedule.

(I can hunt 5 out of 7 mornings until I run out of money!)

[Steelfishin]

You willingly haul a boat back from Texas to Michigan (1,800 miles) just because the wife with a moment of insanity, agreed you could buy a perfect duck hunting boat, camo and all! So of course I was going to haul it back to Michigan! It was priceless when the guy at Bass pro shops in Texas asked you must not have many boat dealers in Michigan if your willing to buy it here and tow it back there. Still remember that to this day. Another you might be a waterfowler is when during the nightly walks around the lake, both the owner and dog pause everytime a flight of geese come into the lake to roost! The wife had to take the dog out for the walk tonight and said he just about pulled her backwards when his butt hit the ground B/C the geese were coming in again. She tried everything to get him moving again but until they touched down he just sat and watched. Said thing about it is most in the neighborhood just shake their heads and laugh.

[Shlwego]

If you're in Florida on vacation and you're pointing out the teal and mottled ducks when the rest of the family is looking for gators, you might be a waterfowler.

If you're trying to find a few extra cubic feet of storage in the garage so you can add another species of decoy to the spread, you might be a waterfowler.

If your idea of fun during the off season is building another duck boat, you might be a waterfowler.

[pintail charlie]

If you see a Fed Ex guy driving around blowing on a duck call he might be a waterfowler, or just pintail charlie.:coolgleam Man, people must think im crazy.:dizzy:

[Branta]

It's funny how many of these I'm guilty of!

You not only have a vanity plate for your truck (WEBFOOT), but even one for your Utility Trailer (T8K EM)

On your wedding day (Sept 13, 1997) you did a morning goose hunt with your wedding party!! (OH Yeah!!!):coolgleam

OR

You are driving in a company vehicle and you get a call from your office manager that someone just called the office to squeal on you to say they saw you smoking marijuana. They described the two "bongs". One was black and white (Lynch Mob Goose Noose) and the other was wood (Tim Grounds Long Magnum) and they were both on strings. The claim was that I was puffing on them and acting crazy at a busy intersection!!:dizzy::dizzy::dizzy:

[Steelfishin]

Didn't go to a good friends wedding (Oct 10th) B/C the cold front just blew in the night before and new ducks were circling the farm fields that next morning. Yep I suddenly came down with the flu, and had to drink warm fluids (coffee) and stay in bed all morning (Finisher Blind) while all the time taking my medication (blowing on duck calls), might have been a waterfowler.

[shark6]

If even as youre posting this you cant take your eyes off your brand new "Bay Country Calls" "Shorething" and will soon be taking it off to bed with you where it will spend the night safe and sound next to your Sig 228

A few years back I was pulled over by a female State Trooper for speeding on my way to shoot skeet. She noticed that I had a cased gun in the back of the cab so she had me exit the vehicle. While I'm sitting on the tailgate of the truck she come back with my duck calls that I had laying in the console. She thought they were crack pipes. So I had to blow a short routine for her. After all that I still got a ticket for 5 over. I guess she didn't like the greeting call.:lol::lol: I still get a chuckle out of that.

[just ducky]

These are all great, and like many of you, I'm guilty of most of these. Probably the best one so far for me is KLR'S..."You belong to the .000005% of people who HATE summer." Ain't that the truth! I could easily go right from June into October each year :lol:

But one I haven't seen yet that jumped right into my mind...

U may be a waterfowler if you actually LOVE the smell of mud and rotting vegetation around you, on your body and gear :evilsmile

[wavie]

You stop the car in a Meijers parking lot (last week) to observe a freshly killed drake can which was just hit by a vehicle. Stop the car and get out to flip it over and check for bands. Your parked car is holding up traffic and the lady behind you rolls down the window and asks what are you doing. "Lady, you just wouldn't understand".

[Flooded Timber]

You might be a waterfowler if. Your wife says your pickup smells like a wet dog.

You might be a waterfowler if. You spend more time with your retrievers than your wife because they are whistle trained,mark better and do blind doubles.

[Decoy Player]

I love all those! I was thinking of this though:


If you wife asks you what is your favorite color and you have to weigh the pros and cons of both Max4 and Shadowgrass

[Dahmer]

You may be a waterfowler when your wife askes you what you want for your birthday/Christmas and you hand hear a Macks catalog with stuff circled.

You may be a waterfowler when your groomsman start blowing routines during the best mans toast.

Wavie, I came this close to calling bull -shee

but knowing who you are and your experience with waterfowl, I just have to say-

I have never...

in my life...

been to a Michigan store parking lot and

seen a greased Aythya valisineria.

That's one I couldn't even come up with if I was fibbing! :cwm27:

(begs some details, actually. )
~~~~~~~~~~
to add on to that story-

U might be a waterfowler if you find a dead drake can at meijers, you flip it over to check for bling... and then immiately call your buddies about "your great find!"

"dude, you wouldn't believe what I just saw..."

Which brings me to my own guilty moment-

couple of years ago Don and I were out to go pick up a blind for the Lund. As we were going down a fairly busy road, I was just talking about how in the spring, " geese tend to lose their minds and how they'll walk right out in front of traffic....

JUST LIKE THAT ONE RIGHT THERE!!!" :tdo12:

of course we stopped...

no band.

[gunner7848]

You might be a waterfowler:
If your UPS person knows you by your first name and not to drop the box off when the wife's car is home

If you put deeks in the yard in the middle of summer

If you can't sleep right from Middle of Aug. till Feb.

If you get home after the hunt and tell everyone about your hunt online and on the phone

If your ice fishing with a shotgun and deeks

If your truck is covered in waterfowl stickers

Yup, a nice nappy. preferrably one in front of a fire with a ball game going. we were sparing no expense in this department and in short order...

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

That said, you can pick out the waterfowlers on any given nasty November day as they'll be the ones walking slowly and scanning the sky while every one else hunkers down and runs to their car in the parking lot.

just earlier this week after the thaw I found a "mushroom" next to the boat - nope, just a 3" Kent Faststeel. "oooh, keeping this one. #2 1450fps - that's a good-un."

if you realize that no man can ever have enough duck calls.

No waterfowler in their right mind would be in a parking lot on a day like that. If I was one that was in the parking lot, I would be running to my car so I could get out hunting. I would be scanning the sky in the marsh. If it was sunny and nice out the next day and it was november, I would be in the marsh again. You might be a waterfowler if you have never worked a job that interferes with duck season in your life. Spend the whole non-season, working to not have to work during duck season.

Pintail I have heard crazy rumors that you don't wash during duck season either!:yikes:

Anyway you might be a waterfowler if you have a duck or goose call in the house, garage, and truck because you can never be too prepared for a flyby.

[Quaaack]

U Might be a waterfowler if you check "RoadKill" Waterfowl for Bling!

I've done it twice now. No bands though, somebody must have beaten me to it!

My GF and I were walking around lake cadillac last summer and sure enough a smelly goose was washed on shore and it has jewlery. My GF jumped in and grabbed the smelly thing and ripped its leg off and took the band.

I was so Proud:evil:

[bucknduck]

I'm sure guilty of many of these. I have one to add.

You might be a waterfowler if your wife calls to say she just passed a dead duck/goose on the side of the road and wants to know if she should stop to check for bands and describing what the duck looks like as she is backing up on the side of the freeway.

You might be a waterfowler if while ice fishing you hear the sound of whistling wings and drop the ice rods to step out of the shanty to look for divers.

Regarding the .00005% that dislike summer? I'm ready for waterfowl season as soon as ice is out. This past week I've been driving around Palmer Rd and Pine River not to check for ice, but to look at the hooded mergansers and other waterfowl that have come back home.

when your duck truck thaws out in the spring to start smelling really bad, sometime later you find the frozen mergy your buddy stuffed under the seat last December.

note to self: clean truck out after season.

:yeahthat::yeahthat::yeahthat::yeahthat::yeahthat: Unless she has 3 teeth and two heads, then you might want to think about it.

You're supposed to wear a t-shirt with a pocket on it. You start with the pocket, then the sleeves, then cut the rest of into strips. :evil: I've never lost my socks, but I have cut my boxers before...I wasn't driving 15 min back to the gas station.

I knew I might be a waterfowler when my truck was worth about $1,000 the duck boat was worth $13,000. I lived in an appartment and my boat payment was more than my rent. LOL Still have the boat, still love the sport.


I knew I might be a waterfowler when the boss at work schedules major projects at work around my hunting plans in Oct and November.


I knew I might be a waterfowler when my Nextel direct connect minutes goes from 120 minutes a month to over 2000 minutes a month during duck season.


I knew I might be a waterfowler when I would leave work at 2:00am drive up to fish point to get in the morning draw. Hunt the morning draw and get a wake-up from the guys in the afternoon party, asking me what I was doing in there field with decoys set up... :yikes:

[Branta]

Good Stuff Guys.

Sean- been there...done that! I know I entered the field with boxers on. somehow, I left going commando. (sometimes, that breakfast really sneaks up on ya!)

[pintail charlie]

If Sean tell you "Come over here, take a look at this!" DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yikes: He is one sick puppy.:lol:

[melvvin]

I know what ya mean on the phone minutes deal Kevlar. Mine were so far over my limit this october that my wife was sure I was talking to a girl instead of hunting buddies. She said guys dont talk for 45 minutes at a time but I convinced her they do when its waterfowl hunting there talking about. I guess it only took me 5 months to suceed in convincing her not bad I guess. Cant wait till next season and start all over again.:yikes:

[duckindude]

you might be a waterfowler if the kids at school are getting annoyed with hunting stories..

[duckhunter382]

you might be a waterfowler if you are found steelheading in cabelas ice breaker waders in the late spring sweating you @$$ off but your determined to break them in for next years duck season.

[Water_Hazard]

You might be a waterfowler if you can break a pair of waders in opening day, and have them worn out before 1 season is over.

[Duck-Hunter]

You might be a waterfowler when some one sarcastically makes a remark about how "great" the weather is on a cold over cast day and you respond with "ISNT IT? It dont get any better than this!"

[duckhunter382]

thats why I had to buy the ice busters. they are horrible to walk in but do not break.
