Top Right - One of the two banded teal that I was lucky enough to bag during this year's 16 day season. Below is a pic of one of an accessible duck blind that we made several years ago. They work well because they have a rear entry and plenty of room for a chair inside. Of course, a hinged door was attached before we took 'em out to the pond, but these are the top of line as far as design. They'll be dug into the back of an outside levee and wrapped with camo netting to conceal their outline from those wary ducks.

Duck hunting can be ideal for hunting from a chair because you can bring them in to decoys that are put right in front of your position.

And in a lot of places, you can drive right up to the blind. I've even gotten into a small row boat and pulled out into the middle of the pond where I shot right out of the boat. It was really stable and worked well.

I believe that any place can be made "accessible" if you have enough muscle and will power on your side, however, a little inventive thinking never hurt anyone.

Here's one of my favorite pics with one of my favorite dogs. Her name is Tabby and this was her first year in the field. Come follow me on my duck hunting trips as I go in search of waterfowl all over the Texas coast. In and out of blinds, tracking through mud and water, and sometimes lying flat on my back, wherever we can find the birds is where we'll get to.

The #1 rule is that anywhere can be accessible if you have to get there bad enough.
