SHOTGUNS AND COFFEE

Instantly hooked. Everything about duck hunting appeals to me. The day starts at 4 AM. loading up on a good breakfast and brewing a thermos full of coffee. Coffee tastes good at home but that first sip you have waiting for the sun to come up in the blind is ridiculous. You gear up in the dark and head out with your buds talking smack and just getting primed for the adrenaline that comes when that first group of ducks comes into view. A walk through the salt marsh follows as you make your way out to the blind that sits on an elevated point looking out at the ocean.  If you've never tried it the day mostly breaks down to hours of BSing  and anticipation punctuated by a few  seconds of shooting and excitement. If nothing else it's a good excuse to get outside, enjoy nature  and have a coffee that you won't forget anytime soon.
