Shootin' Time!

Oil on Birch Panel

In my experience the last thing asked the night before a duck hunt and first thing the morning of a duck hunt is "what time is shooting time?"   Always thirty minutes before sunrise, the legal shooting time can vary each day, so it is an obvious subject for discussion on what time to set the alarm to get up and gauge the walking time to get in the swamp or blind. 

There are occasions such as a snowy Saturday morning in the blind with no particular place else to be that can create another type of shootin' time - provided someone brought the bourbon.
