WHERE THE RIVER NARROWS
by Ramsey Russell, American Waterfowler,
September 2011
Trying to convince myself I'd rather be elsewhere was futile. I'd
rather be mowing the lawn. No. I'd rather be at the office. Nope.
I'd rather be painting the front porch. Not happening. Duck
season ended months ago and little league baseball was
underway. But even with rivulets of icy rainwater
occasionally breaching a cinched collar and winding down my back,
there was absolutely nowhere I'd rather have been than hunting snow
geese adjacent to the mighty St. Lawrence River in Quebec.

producing. Whether it is bales of cotton, pounds of catfish,
bushels of soybeans or corn, board-feet of lumber, or number and
quality of deer, ducks, and turkeys - the math is really
pretty simple. More is better. Read Story:
