Why would any normally sane individual be up and out at 4 a.m.?
Well, nobody said, or made claim, that waterfowlers were in any way sane! So, being up at 4 a.m. this time of year is, for us, normal.
Our 4 a.m. last Thursday started with breakfast in the shop, in lieu of the duck blind. Course, as soon as we finished it was off to the blind, which is "just down the road a ways."

Gregory Greenwell, age 11, bagged this 9-point buck on opening day of fall deer season 2012 with his father. His parents are Greg and Nicole Greenwell of Loretto.
