While out pheasant hunting (don't hold it against him) a friend of mine had his 9 yr old lab either drop in the field or run off. We are all hoping he ran off, although he's never done that before. The general area where the Yellow Lab named Chief was hunting was by/around the following places. About 2 miles West of Brian Elliots house and 1 mile South. Around Silvercreek Kennels, Gil's and Chatt's. NW of Galls Lake. I'm sure everyone familiar with the area knows "about" where this is. If anyone sees him, again his name is Chief, yellow lab 9 years old average build. Please shoot us an email if he happens to show up at your place, or you see him running around. Thanks to all. Hopefully he shows up.
Managed to get a couple warm bodies into the Ditch around 11AM. They stayed until around 2PM and didn't fire a shot. A few groups here and there was about all that was seen. Haven't heard any reports from anywhere else with any major success. When the winds finally calm, I believe it'll be shootin' time again. Got and email for Dr Oz and the Boyer Boys;
Well the hunting has been good since our last report. We are getting some geese now. The ducks are decoying and it has been a season to remember. Monday the 29th was a dud till the wall of clouds moved in. The winds were 22 mph out of the SE till around 11:00 A:M and when it hit it sent decoys flying within an instant we had 25mph North winds. Saw thousands of ducks ahead of the front and more after it got here. The first group came at 10:45 while I was in the decoys fixing some things. So I got to call that group in while on the ground. That was very cool to see fifty mallards work lower and lower from decoy level. The winds were bad news and I knew they would only get one shot in the blind. The lids throw open and they blaze away the birds flair and off they go, gone in a split second. Two Drakes are bagged and I think they did good. We bagged four more Drakes before going to work. So far 138 ducks and 25 geese. Lots of ducks moving south and north in huge flocks. The flocks appear like clouds, quite a sight.
Promising report! I've been looking at Squaw Creek Numbers and the Can's are definitely not there yet and there's nothing left at Sand Lake. There are still large numbers of birds somewhere between here and South of Sand Lake in South Dakota, they're gonna come and it's probably gonna be quick! Get down and Get Ready! That's all for now, hope Chief finds his way!
