Im offering up a bounty on the bootlips. On opening day in the South Zone, Ill present the winner with $100 bucks and a can of grizzly. The winner will be the one that can kill the most shoveler hens. My guess it'll be between Fowlbehavior, Meatgrinder, Fireduck, or Kramer-(because CJ will ID them as mallards or bluewingers). Ill throw in some beerchips for The Wolfs Den!

The old "BootLip Beat Down". If it flies it dies, if its brown its down.
Its hard to pass up the smiling mallard, the holywood, the spoonie, the good old shov.

My bet will be on Folwbehavior and his crew. They have a history with the bootlips.
It wont be me because Im not hunting till saturday at Union. All greenheads, one pintail and a woodduck will be my first limit.

I don't believe ole' Fireduck for a second on that "my first limit" crap! He wants that 100 bucks bad.
I'm game. Practice up on your Hollywood calls boyz, this is a competition. Guess i'll put down the beers and the Lowtech and pick up some beers and WW.

It's on!

Well no Grizzly but my son would take the 100, he managed to drop 2 of them today and you did not say what opener???

I would love to take that money on opening day but no hunting for me, I am going to be bowhunting in Texas for the week.... Man I could use 100 for boat gas, I would shoot 6 of those smileys....

I mainly want the grizzly, but the beer chips for Wolf's Tavern does sweeten the deal! I going to buy some "Dead Coyote" today so I can bring 'em down from heaven.

Fireduck, your gunna be the last draw at union. have fun hunting a standing bean field with Duck floaters. Meatgrinder ill be suprised if your motor starts at the ramp, even if it does ill sick Carl Holland on your azz. Have you rigged up a trotline with decoys yet so we can pull in some blue wiskerfish while we amaze the riverbottoms with our high shootin accuracy? Ill leave you with an old Fireduck classic quote "I thought it was a greyduck" Now that is some old school shiznit.

watch your top knot

Fireduck...you'll be happy to know we got boids...and lots of them. Davis had abt 4K snows feeding in the weeds as well as Canadas and specks. We saw every type of duck you could imagine and lots of them. I am stoked.

Took a youth to bootlip bay yesterday. Not one smiler seen not very many ducks at all. We maybe head for more promising duck land to the SE. It will take something pretty impressive to out due our bootlip beat down last year.

CJ will identify them as whatever sounds coolest at the time. Especially if your throwing 100 big ones out there!

Kyle is going with me, Im not sure what you are getting at about the speck. I have gotten lost going to duck spots on foot, but I dont get lost going by road. Unless Im on foot and walk up to a road.
DDave i bet there are alot of birds down there, Sounds like all the big areas in the south zone are loaded up. Although Im not going to get to duck hunt as much as I like Im also stoked to get out.
