This thread is a profound reminder about our sport.
I frequently hunt alone and enjoy doing so.
Last week we had a 10' tide to close out rail season. I dearly wanted to get out one more time after them. But a 15 mph wind and more warned me that would be stupid in my canoe or a kayak, out in a big open flat. So I stayed home and moped. But I didn't put myself in harms way.
I am going to Nags Head next week with two buddies I grew up with to hunt for two days on the Pamlico Sound. I am glad we are using a local guide service. No temptation that way to use improper equipment without local knowledge. I believe everything I hear about the Pamlico Sound being one dangerous mother when the wind gets kicking.
Every October I put out my Blessing of the Fleet for everyone on this site. It's a stark reminder at the beginning of the season that funerals are possible as a result of our hunts.
God keep everyone safe on the water and may God give everyone of us the common sense to use our common sense.
