I 'googled' Old Man and the Slough and didn't find anything. Please explain.

Let's face it, if they drained it and planted corn, you could shoot more mallards than now.

I don't need anymore walleye or minnow filled waters in this state. I want more ducks and ditch chickens. You can usually tell when a slough takes a dump. Enter a few years of minnows and Bah-zing-Gahh, crap-oh duck water.

Speaking of Swan, I need to get into a good cussing match, anyone got any good points or bays to hunt on in Swan?

Well when fowler tried to down wind me and screamed at my friend, I was in Poor Farm Bay, not to far from the north access. But fowler doesn't hunt swan anymore. Probably because of the lack of ethics and people trying to downwind him after he successfully downwinded someone else.

It's an unpublished short story that many consider to be on the same level as McQuarie. It was an instant classic and an unedited glimpse into the demise of a once great tradition.

FF anyway that could be reposted?

Mr. Lee used to bang the snot out of the ducks on the vaunted Marsh Lake. It is pure magic!

Guys like Lee, bullet, and the other 1%'ers in MN could bang a limit of ducks out on a random drainage ditch.
