Duck season opened this weekend with a bang ... dang, I'm funny. At a little over 5 months old Ruger did better than I could have hoped. Blind retrieves, open water retrieves and open field retrieves and he sat quietly in the blind without trouble. His best retrieve came yesterday. We were packed up and sitting by the trucks with a small group of ducks landed back by the blind. We jumped them and put one down, but it landed about 150 yards away and across the canal ... YIKES! We had it marked, so we drove over and started looking for it. It was an open field next to a thick creek bottom and after about 10 minutes of not finding the duck Ruger started getting "birdy" and suddenly found the bird. What a great weekend with the pup.
We've had a busy couple of weeks. Rain, rain and more rain, not good with hat down. We finally got two fields dry enough to bale ... it's not perfect, but the cows will eat it. We'll be working on fence all week and will start hauling cows home next weekend. I still can't believe it's almost November ... where did the year go?
I attended the third Tribal Retrocession Work Group Meeting last week in Olympia. The topic, Criminal Retrocession. I still have a lot of questions and concerns about the state retroceeding criminal jurisdiction to the FBI, BIA and tribes.
I'll be speaking at Perry Tech's graduation this week and will be at the Sunnyside Republican Clubs meeting Friday morning. We've got a lot to do before the November 28th Special Session, but we'll get there.
