My dad turned me into duck hunting fanatic when I was a young lad.

I grew up in California and started bird hunting (ducks, geese, doves, pheasants) when I nine years old. The pic was taken after a hunt on Joyce Island near Fairfield and I'll never forget that day. It was the very first day that Joyce Island was opened to hunting and it was one of the best days of duck hunting that we ever had.
