It's the final countdown!!!!!!

Federal Duck Stamps came out today. Can't say I've ever seen a Ruddy Duck but it won the contest. 

If the stamps are out the seasons have to be getting close. If you think about it early goose is only a month month and a half away! Time to start putting spreads together, adding those last minute decoys to the stack and tossing layout blinds in the sun to get faded. 

Anyone hunting ducks over 16years old needs a stamp. I would recommend you buy your young hunters one too. Just for the memory factor. 20years from now they will look at all the stamps in the file and be thankful they had one your each year he or she hunted.

Early goose is Aug. 15 here. Flocks have started flying as early as two weeks ago now. I'll hold off until late August/early Sept out of principle. But you're right, it's getting closer!!
