According to Joe Namath “When you have confidence, you can have fun, when you have fun, you can do amazing things.” This quote by Joe Namath relates so much to me and what happened in Joel marsh.
I woke up Saturday, September 24. I looked at the clock, 3 in the morning. I said to myself, “Why am I doing this.” Dave peeked over the railing and said to me “time to go.”
I said to myself, “A cold morning we are having.” It was 40 degrees and the water was pushing up against me while I stood in the marsh, it felt like squishing a sponge when it hit you.
Dave, the person I was hunting with said, “This is the life.”

I sat their thinking to myself about the surroundings they were long rows of marshy grass with a little breeze that made small ripples in the water.
I asked Dave, “Are any ducks coming back,”
Dave said, “It’s called hunting not killing.”

The ducks flew right into the decoys and then I shot. I saw the flame come out of the end of my barrel and the duck fall out of the sky, I said, “that’s a first.”
We canoed out of the marsh and walked up a grassy hill with our gear and ducks in our hands.
I said, “What a morning.” as we walked to the truck on a gravel pathway, huge weeds growing on the side of that driveway.
I got in the truck and said, “ I will never forget this morning.”
Dave said, “I hope you had fun, and will come again.”
I replied with lots of enthusiasm in my voice, “Yeah totally, I would love to go again.”
That night sitting in the cabin I thought to myself. “Hunting isn't just something I do, it is part of who I
