Brett,
I am very thankful for meeting you and all you have done to help me learn SI.

You were with me & you called in my first SI bird!

You taught me the whole chip pull process, and the overflow line on the eastside. I really enjoyed hunting with you and hope to do so again.
Brett, I have always enjoyed your passion for duck hunting and willingness to share and teach. Don't let folks get you down because you just can't please everybody and you don't have too either. So post away, put up pic's of your hunts...I enjoy them and I know others do too.
You are at a time & place in life where you can hunt three times a week or more! (well perhaps hitting the books a little harder wouldn't hurt though)

Many guys like myself with a wife & kid(s), a career, and other issues can't because life keeps us out of the field. I whish I could get out as much as you do, but since I can't, I look forward to your posts to vicariously live the hunt. Don't let the folks who vent on you get you down! There will always be guys who will interpret your postings the wrong way, but in the end, I think they are just jealous that they don't get to hunt as often as you or perhaps they just are not as good of a hunter as you are.
So keep killing birds, keep posting photos, keep telling the stories, and keep the fun and spirit of ifish alive!
Merry Christmas my friend!
Jim
