Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. It’s the time of the year when things are winding down in the outdoors. There might be a hungry fish somewhere that will bite but I never could get fired up to go fishing when I had to dress like an eskimo. Now I understand that some of you folks might be from up north where ice fishing is a popular pastime but a southern boy like me ain’t getting cold and wet! You might be thinking to yourself, Capt. Dave you go duck hunting all the time! You are correct. I’m dressed in neoprene chest waders to keep me dry and warm, I’m wearing a warm coat and the water ain’t but knee-deep. Oh I ain’t hunting but a couple of hours either!
It’s a good time to look at all the wishbooks. You know the ones, Basspro, Cabelos, Gander mountain, Etc. Fold the pages and leave it where your better half can find it and when he or she picks it up it will fall open to the page with the new toy you just got to have! Remember to be subtle with the hints and stuff too. I have found one thing to be true boys, if it’s your idea it sucks, if it’s her idea it’s great.
Most of the small game species are still in season and duck season goes out on Saturday the 26th at sunset. I really hope that this frigid weather will push some birds down here for the last day of the season but I figure the birds will be here the first weekend of Febuary as usual.
Now is a good time to get a headstart on that maintenance you need to get done. Take the boat and get it tuned up and ready,service the batteries and check the trailer over. This time of the year most of the boat shops are not that busy but come the first warm days of spring they will be slammed for the summer. Don’t be the guy at the ramp who has unloaded his boat and parked the truck only to find out the boat won’t run! If you have bought a boat and ain’t that good at backing it go to a big parking with it and practice backing up some. Heck teach the wife to back it too. Most women are better at backing up a trailer than men. If you don’t believe that the boat ramp can be a circus go down on any weekend and sit and watch. It’s great entertainment when you ain’t involved!
Well folks thats about all I’ve got to say for this week so be safe and take a kid with you! Capt. David
