Baby Mallard Duck Egg Stalker

   Posted by: admin    in Outdoor Syndication

duck eggsFor those of you that weren\’t reading my blog last year, I was stalking baby mallard duck eggs.  For weeks I saw the male and female hanging between our house and a neighbor\’s house.  Finally we found that mother duck found the perfect bedding spot for her eggs.

And she sat.

And sat.

For weeks.

And according to several online sites about mallards, her cute little babies were to hatch within the week.

Until …

A Dirty Rotten Nasty Fox ate them.

I was horrified and heartbroken when I saw the photos from our trail cam.

So this year I\’ve been waiting on their return.   I heard them one morning a couple of weeks ago and saw them in a neighbors yard once. As of last week, no sign of them at all. I\’ve been searching and searching in our yard, a few neighbor\’s yards, driving my car slowing around the neighborhood, secretly peeking in neighbors bushes in hopes of locating them. No luck.

Until…

I was minding my own business on Facebook when my husband walked in and said, “Marty (neighbor across the street) has duck eggs in his bushes.”

Me: Are you kidding? Why oh why would she lay her eggs over there. That\’s right in the path of a running fox. His yard isn\’t fenced. We have a yard with a fence and lots of bushes to protect her. Why in the world would she lay them over there?

Mark: Jody, I better not catch you over there peeking in his bushes.

Me:  Don\’t you have somewhere to go?  I think you need more grass seed.

911 what\’s your emergency: I think we have a peeping tom. There\’s a crazy lady dressed in a black sweatsuit with her hood on peeking in our bushes. Yes you heard me right.  Not our window. Our bushes.

Maybe if I wear camouflage no one will notice me.

Have a good day all … I have sweet little baby duck eggs to find. And think I better practice my fence jumping skills.

“I Caught A Shark”

   Posted by: admin    in Outdoor Syndication

I didn\’t catch a shark but that is what 2-year-old Ella from St. Francis, MN said when she caught her first fish, a 20 lb muskie, on her cute little pink barbie fishing pole.  I luv it!

“I caught a shark!” Sounds like something I would swear I caught. Even if you\’d swear it was a little tiny baby bluegill.

I love a good kids fishing story especially when it involves using a pink barbie fishing pole.

Thanks to Ben at Ben G Outdoors for sharing the link.

And word on the street is there\’s a grown man in TX running around fishing with a pink barbie pole.

Have a good day all … I need to go find where Mark hid my cute little pink barbie pole.

Link and more on the story of Ella\’s shark can be read at My Fox Twin Cities.

Chicklets and Nature Walks

   Posted by: admin    in Outdoor Syndication

It\’s been a very busy month and I was hoping to get myself caught up this weekend and back on track but …

This cute little chicklet showed up for the weekend …

And after we found a broken robin egg on the ground, we spent hours outdoors taking nature walks looking for more robin eggs.

But I promise … even if I have to stay up until midnight tonight … I will have a post here tomorrow about how I fell and couldn\’t get up.

Have a wonderful day all!

Outdoor Heart Keychains

   Posted by: admin    in Outdoor Syndication

Prior to our local outdoor sports show, I was asked if I\’d like to give something away during their hourly giveaways. Some of the vendors provide tackle, fishing poles, gear, etc. What in the world would The Hunter\’s Wife giveaway?

So I made these …

outdoor heart key chains

I saw the cute heart charms and key rings online and found bear, fish and feather charms at our local craft store. I put them in a box with my business card and wrapped a little cougar ribbon around them with a simple note card attached.  I thought they turned out cute. And I\’ve had my keychain on my key ring for about 2 months now. Thankfully nothing has fallen off yet.

Just a side note:  One of the winners from the Sports Show is a nurse at an Illinois cardiology department.  She loved it!

With that, I randomly selected 2 readers from my post the other day and here are the winners…

#6 was Arthur from Simply Outdoors – Which by the way the guys over there have a new nice looking outdoor blog.  With outdoor videos.

#11 was Kaite from Freeze Me You Devil – Oh deer – After peeking at her blog, what a girlfriend she is giving her cowboy a new Wii Cabelas Big Game Hunter with the Top Shot Gun. And then I read this … “Nothing says Happy Valentines Day” like blasting the …

And then she scared me.

Congrats Winners – please email me your address to jody @ thehunterswife . net so I can send them out along with Samanthas.
