I could tell you
I find so alluring.
In the headwaters, cornfields in the valleys nudge against sycamores and mountain laurel as the river, here little more than a creek, twists through banks clad in vine and wildflowers. Farther downstream, it gathers flow from limestone springs, and its rock-ribbed pools are cooled in the shade of soaring hemlock groves. The Soque River (pronounced so-
quee) flows for about thirty miles contained in a single county Habersham, merely four counties northeast of metro Atlanta an intimacy that lends it a homey, winsome, tucked-just-out-of-sight appeal.
But I’d be lying if I said I’m here for the river or the repasts spread on split-log farm tables or the end-of-day cocktails lit by a sun setting over wild, timbered ridgelines.
High Adventure Company’s premier duck hunting experience includes world-class food and hospitality
It’s just before dawn when we step out of the truck. The peaceful murmuring of the North Platte River creates a pleasant background to the sound of our boots on the frozen ground. It’s so perfect; it’s almost like a dream. But it’s not just cold, it’s Nebraska cold, perfect for ducks. We are on the west bank of the Platte near Minatare, Nebraska. The sky is overcast, and it looks to be a promising hunt. The decoys are already floating in a nearby eddy, and the retriever is in his box at the end of the blind.
