    So sorry to hear about Joe Carter passing. 🙏I came across of this while looking for his info for duck guiding on Realfoot lake. He was our guide a few times about 20 years ago. I would like to know if his brother Jerry or anyone is guiding from his blind. I would like to set up a hunt for next season. Please let me know via email dmpizzarelli@gmail.com
    Thanks much
