Great job Dan!
On time while canoeing on the Driftwood River I had to rescue a duck that had the treble hooks of a crankbait and several feet of fishing line stuck through its bill and webbed foot. It was bobbing up and down in the water, nearly drowned, trying to get its head up out of the water to breath. I canoed over to it, scooped it up, and freed the the duck with my Leatherman pliers. I laid it up on a sand bar to get it's strength back for a while before it waddled off. It seemed to be in pretty good shape. I'm sure the lure was lost by accident when it became snagged on something and the duck thought it was an easy meal. Unfortunately, I had to junk the lure after cutting the barbs off to free the duck.

I second the TIG welder comment. Fix it permanently and you won't have to worry about it anymore. I personally do not have any experience with those aluminum repair sticks, but if it works then that may be another good option. I bought a nice Miller TIG machine this summer and I am still learning how to weld aluminum. I'm getting the hang of it. When I get to where I feel comfortable, I plan to build an 18" all aluminum raised shooting deck and enclosed light rail on my 1652 Jon boat that I am building up for bowfishing. If my welder were more portable, then I would offer to fix it for you guys. Any local welding shop that can do aluminum welding can get you fixed up with a TIG or MIG machine using 100% Argon shielding gas required when welding aluminum. This would be the best fix in my opinion.
What size Jon boat is the "Barge" Troy?

That looks awesome! It's kind of like a "Wing Off", but with Crawdads! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I think you called it right. It's the " I just wet myself look " and rightfully so. What a tremendous buck!

It definitely appears to be a productive spot. I have more squirrels around my house than I can afford to shoot, so I just quit hunting them.

I have never killed a goose. Congratulations on your first one. I hope that several more will come.

I don't see as many as I did when I was a kid but those things are some fast fliers. They have scared the crap out of me on several occasions. Good shooting and congratulations!
