Today is tuesday the first day of my second semester of college. it sucks so far. i really dont want to be here. i wish i was in a duck blind somewhere or working. yes, i said working. i work for a business called menzies cattle company. i driove around allday in a feed truck and feed commercial dairy heifers. easy job until i have to get outside the truck then its a muddy mess. the only part of the job that sucks is the cold and working cattle. for some reason it seems like dairy cattle are alot harder to work than beef cattle, its almost like they are dumber or something. we have some beef cows in the company but we hardly ever work them. i realy wish i was hunting. it doesnt matter how cold it is. i wish i was sitting in a duck blind drinking coffee and watching mallards pile into my decoy spread. this year has  been one of the best for us as duck hunters. were getting up close to 200 birds. considering last year we weere only at like 35 at the end of the season. still no banded birds though. this year i went to harrisburg arkansas on a duck hunt and had high hopes of killing a banded duck. but there just wasnt many birds down there and we had trouble finding them, but i shot some of the prettiest mallards ive ever seen. the other day we were hunting at a little farm pond i own and we killed a mallard gadwall cross. it had everything a mallard hen would have but its belly was white like a gadwall. and the duck was really little. then we shot two mallard hens and a mallard drake. and a canadian goose. the goose was awesome to watch. weve killed a few of them but not many and its always a treat because you get 3 times as much meat off of them. im really excited for turkey season. i have a few new spots to hunt this year. and im getitng a red dot scope for my shotgun. im also going to try a new brand of shlls. in 2009 i killed a tom that  is ranked 11th for alltime in the state of missouri.
