Beats it by 3/4 miles. Maybe more.

[Double R]

Last Mississippi hunt of the season. We needed to go about 3/4 mile deep into the ancient hardwood forest in the pitch black dark of night, well ahead of other possible hunters. Across: a rolling, Mississippi delta topography, wading waist deep cypress sloughs -deeper if you find a hole, and cold if you stumble on the wrong submerged obstacle; crossing oak-studded ridges to yet another brake. Listening: to the winter woods awaken, a few ducks overhead, a beaver slapping his tail down the slough, raucously vocal barred owls sounding off their mating season. A few ducks flushing blindly out of our way. Sounded, too, like a buck crashing through the adjacent thicket, awakened by the hollow thump of the plastic blocks we carried. Watching: silouettes of a few flying ducks trading, the stars fading, a pair of bluebirds feeding on mistletoe, two black labs exhaling streams of frosty smoke, diligently searching the dim sky intently. Then: a whir of wings, a splash of water as a pair of wood ducks land a few feet away, another pair darting through the tall snags. Finally: shooting time arrives and a single shot fells the lone greenhead that came sailing in, hell-bent on landing in the brush-shrouded little hole. The rest is history. It beat a day at the office (or anywhere else) by 3/4 mile. Maybe more.
