yeah well i will make sure i call your wife to get her out of bed an hour early to start rollin you over on you gut so you can get out of bed.. got to imagine you on your back is like a big a$$ turtle just laying there rolling side to side, "I CAN"T GET UP I CAN"T GET UP"
at least your gut is like a big a$$ kick stand and you never have to worry about rolling out of bed onto the floor... that would be like a 8.0 on the richter scale...

Her is a photo from opening morning. Three greenwings and a woodie from mudduck, cootshooter, dalton and miller. We got a drake and hen mallard in the evening. Forgot to take pic of those, was too busy on the phone calling catch a poacher from some guys shooting an hour after shooting time.
