Seminole Ramlin's

December 10 , 2006

What kind of weather is this when last Thursday a Copper Head snake was killed locally and frost the next day? Takes the pleasure out of going into the woods to do anything.

The Duck Hunters have had themselves a crackerjack season. One hunter told me Sunday that he had seen more Ducks this Saturday than he saw all last season. Down in the big part of the Lake the Canvasbacks were in the thousands. There was so many hatched last nesting season, the Feds allowed you to shoot one each day of the season.

Redheads are also real plentiful. I do declare that they are the dumbest duck that I’ve ever had the pleasure to shoot. They must be prolific breeders because they’d have to be dumb as they are.

The Bass fishen is real slow for most people, one boat left the dock Saturday just to Bass fish and took one 3 pounder.

A boat put in at Faceville Landing came down the Lake to Butlers Mill Creek and took a big mess of big Specks on Minnows. Then a boat launched here at Wingates and sed he was going to catch Bass, Bream, Specks, and Tilapia, he must know a lot more about this Lake than I do.

Deer Hunters have had a very good weekend, several were taken and it looks like we’ll have more as winter sets in.
