With the realization that in 2020, my friend Vartan Davidian and I have been waterfowling together for 67 years, it seemed like a good idea to record at least some of the more interesting experiences. Hopefully, this will be of some interest to all, but especially to our fellow duck hunters.
Early on, we each had adventures not involving each other, but beginning in the early seventies, we entered into an era of serious, do-it-yourself waterfowling. This involved different boats, motors, decoys, great bags, guns, and countless other items peculiar to the sport. Interspersed were some professionally guided in-state hunts.
All this will be the subject of Book One of this history. Beginning in 1981, we started trying to take at least one annual, guided, hunting adventure, out-of-state and often out-of-country. The tales of these "big trips" will be the subject of Book Two. (If I get there).
