Duck hunting with Kallie North in the Mississippi Delta

By Magical Madge – The first and last time I went duck hunting was in the late 70’s with my brother, Chris. I recall…

1. It was so damn cold…and I hate being cold
2. The beautiful yet barren Mississippi Delta landscape resonated
3. Hearing my brother call the ducks was fun and fascinating
4. Thrilled I was when a group of honkers far, far away obviously made a decision to come down and tell us “hello”
5. A palpitating excitement quickened my breath as the posse arrived above our heads
6. The sound of gunfire scared me and made me sad when I saw them both drop and alight

I haven’t been back since.
