What US is...DEPENDS ON WHAT THE MEANING OF IS...IS! Well it's easier for me to pick a meaning of what IS...IS than it was for one of my favorite American Presidents! Oh for a return to dem days.

Nuff on POLITICS so's we can get down to what IS really important...and...that IS to WHACK DEM DUCKS!. So...US IS ...a for lack of a better term...a collection of FIVE FRIENDS that some would describe as Old Farts. A Collection of Friends with quite a bit in common ...especially as it applies to CHASE'N and WHACK'N DUCKS!

Not only have we been Whack'n Ducks together for quite a few years we also Breed and Train dogs for our own use and that of others. We strive to at a minimum provide a sources that HELP the First Timer locate, select and TRANIN THEMSELVES a pup worthy of attaing the sought after Title of ...DUCK DOG EXTRODINAIRE!

We Practice The Black Arts in The Sport Of Kings within an area that lies in the South Central portion of Oklahoma. That area lies between Maud in the East and Washington in the West...and...Purcell in the North and Pauls Valley in the South. Within these perameters lie Our Privates. Our Privates being bodies of water that range from very small Pot Holes and Stock Ponds to the larger bodies of water that range from say 3-5 acres up to the Government Built Water Sheds. It should also be noted that the majority of these bodies of water are on Cattle Ranches in an area that is mostly GRASS for GRAZE'N or PRARIE HOLES. This of course means we GET LOTS OF PRARIE DUCKS. Most of our ducks that move down on the Great Fall Migration's South are out of Saskatchewan, Canada and parts close.

With the 09 season a thing of the past but it did in the words of THE Hank Williams ...Lived Fast...Died Young and LEFT A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY...at least for The Old Farts and Young Guns we run with. It started off with one of the worst Teal Seasons we have ever encountered but then came an October that was THE COLDEST ON RECORD for these parts. Along with the weather came DIVE'N DUCKS. Normally, October sees a big push by dem Divers ...but...this year it was DIVERS.

The Record Set'n October was hopefully set'n up a November To Remember...but...Mother Nature served up a nasty Curve Ball as the weather changed it's pattern and we had a very HOT MONTH...and... that meant we had to WORK HARD to find dem ducks. One day it was shoot'n TWO and the next it was DOUBLE DIGITS or all involved. UP and Down and ALL AROUND we went. The Split came at a time when the weather changed again and that two weeks was more than likely THE BEST Duck Hunt'n CONDITIONS we would have all year. DUCKS WAS EVERYWHERE and ON DA MOVE!

Once da Split was done with we was... BACK IN DA SADDLE AGAIN...and soon BREAK'N ICE HOLES OUT so's to have a spot to land dem ducks into. It was more WORK but it paid off big time and we had a real good run thru December and even on thru January till DA FAT LADY SANG!

So now we're all about over our WITHDRAWALS and some of the guys are get'n ready to WET DEM HOOKS while a couple of us have other things go'n on. Things like ...A LITTER OF YELLER DOGS ...hit'n the ground in early March. Others are start'n to lay down thier Waterfowl and Deer Food Plots or build'n Dikes ( NO NOT THAT KIND OF DIKES!) in order to make some SHEET WATER SPOTS on the property. THen there are a few of the pups out of last springs litter that are ready to TRAIN UP and MAKE READY for The '10 Season!

That's about it ...hope you all got some projects that keep ya busy. I know most of you are still WORK'N so I will end this up by say'n...HANG IN THERE...KEEP YOUR NOSE TO THE GRIND STONE...YOUR TIME IS COME'N!
