It's that time again, time for news from your most trusted news source Muck Bottom Outfitters. 445 AM was awful early Sunday but the price is a small one to pay to get on some geese. Over the hills and through the woods on to the X we go. Got there real early and set up about 100 or so deeks. The setup went pretty smooth so with about 45 minutes 'til shootin' time, a small nap and some coffee was enjoyed. Walked out just before noon with 11 in the bag. The lack of wind really played havoc with the geese. Not one bunch came from the same direction, or looked to set up in the same spot. Moved the spread 4 times and bodies 2 in hopes of landing the perfect shot. Can't really complain, but it was a very frustrating 11. If you're keeping score, that's 32 geese in two days out of the same spot. A great opening weekend for geese.
This morning some good old fashioned hard nosed hunting was on the mind of one of us and a trip to the Ditch just had to happen. With the most inclement weather in days and nothing in the forecast, clouds and little shower seemed like a maybe. After a couple hours, managed two teal and passed on numerous opportunities on "smiley's". Nice to see there are still birds around. Hope to be in the ditch Wednesday and Thursday and hope to be throwing some steel in the sky.
Managed to hear a story of a few guys around the area who hunted last night and this morning leaving about noon today without a bird in the bag. It is early I guess, if your not into shooting little ducks, now is not the time.
That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits.
