Today's hunt was in a swathed barley field the geese had been feeding in for at least a week. EASY limit (32) of dark geese by 7:15. Highlight of the morning was a speck/blue cross that was taken. Neat looking bird....it'll end up on the wall for sure. Later that afternoon, we set the guys up on a pothole for a duck shoot. Not a ton of birds, but they managed to bag 16 mallards and pintail. Shooters were Mike, Layne, Steve, and Rick.

Born to an aristocratic family, Fynes Moryson (1566-1630) studied and later taught at Cambridge. He started travelling at the age of twenty-three. For four years he toured Germany, Flandres, Switzerland, Danemark and Poland. He returned to Britain in 1595, and in the same year started out on his journey to the Holy Land, Syria, Crete and Istanbul, in the company of his brother. The voyage lasted until 1597. While they were in Antioch, Moryson’s brother died from dysentery.
Moryson later travelled around Ireland and became active in politics during the period of the Nine-year War and the revolution that followed. He only started composing his chronicle in 1797. He wrote in Latin, and for his own diversion, basing himself on his notes. The work was published in English in 1616, in his own translation. The text is comprised of five parts. The first three are dedicated to the regions he toured and the last two describe the institutions, customs and traditions of those same countries. The chapters on Moryson’s travels in England and Ireland remained unpublished until 1903. The complete travel chronicles were republished in 1907.
His description of inns and his observations on the diet of various nations are remarkable and quite rare for his time. On the other hand, he is biased in his remarks on the Ottomans and the Irish, whom he disliked for different reasons. In spite of being one of the most important English travellers of Elizabethan times, Moryson’s text is true to the stereotypes that characterize 16th century travel chronicles. His culture leads him to seek for specific features in each space, to describe what he sees and to take notes. His work, free from editorial trends, is exemplary of a “pure” traveller of the late sixteenth century.

Soylu bir aileden gelen Fynes Moryson (1566-1630) Cambridge'de okuyup daha sonra gine burada profesörlük yapar. 23 yaşındayken bir seyahate çıkıp 4 yıl boyunca Almanya, Flandra, İsviçre, İtalya, Danimarka ve Polonya'yı gezer. 1595'de geri dönüp aynı yıl içinde Kutsal Yerlere, Suriye, Girit ve İstanbul'a gitmek üzere kardeşiyle birlikte yeniden yola çıkar. Bu yolculuk 1597 yılına dek sürer. Antakya'da bulunurlarken kardeşini dizanteriden yitirir.
Daha sonra İrlanda'ya gider, dokuz yıl savaşı ve onu izleyen ihtilal sırasında siyasetle uğraşır. Nihayet 1609 yılında seyahatleri sırasında tuttuğu notları esas alarak latince dilinde ve sadece kendi keyfi için seyahatnamesini kaleme alır. 1617 yılında bu yapıtı kendisi ingilizceye çevirip yayınlar. Metin beş bölümden oluşmakta. İlk üç bölüm gezdiği yerler son iki bölüm ise görmüş olduğu yerlerdeki halkların gelenek ve adetleri hakkındadır. İngiltere ve İrlanda'ya yaptığı gezilerle ilgili bölümler ancak 1903 yılında yayınlanır, nihayet 1907 yılında seyahatlerinin tümü toplu halde kitaplaşır.
Moryson'un kalmış olduğu hanlarla ilgili ve beslenme alışkanlıklarına ilişkin betimlemeler yaşadığı dönem için nadir ve kayda değer niteliktedir. Ancak farklı nedenlerle her ikisine karşı sempati beslemediği Osmanlılar ve İrlandalılarla ilgili gözlemleri güvenilmez ve önyargılı sayılmaktadır. Kraliçe Elisabeth devrinin önemli gezginlerinden biri sayılmakla beraber metni 16. yüzyıl seyahatnamelerinin basmakalıplığından uzaklaşmaz. Geniş bir kültüre sahip olan Moryson bulunduğu mekânda somut öğeler arayıp kaydederek betimlemelerini yapar; basmakalıp baskı unsurları içermeyen kitabı ise 16. yüzyıl çıkışında "saf" bir gezgin tarafından kaleme alınmış bir seyahatname örneğidir.
