We've finally hit pay dirt this season. We hunted last (a week ago) Wednesday and Thursday with no luck. Wednesday was a good day for pushing birds, but nothing would finish. Could get groups to give hard looks but just wouldn't commit. Thursday was a complete bust as there were very few snow geese traveling. The ducks are crazy right now. They are everywhere (pic below). The Can's appear to have moved to northerly grounds. Sunday was the picture above. A good day. Took 3 to bring him down but did it. If there were more guns we would have been able to get a few more. Had lot of smaller groups. Pulled up on a couple as there were more coming in, and missed. With sunny skies it's hard for one man to see 'em all.
Went out this afternoon for a short hunt. Planned on taking a few home, but no luck. Got there and got the deeks moved for the wind direction. As that was going on there were 3 loud groups flyin' overhead at workable ranges had the horns been tuned up. Settled in after re-arranging, loaded the guns, rolled out the speaker wire to the horns and clipped on to the battery. "Crack", loud spark and nothing! Pulled the fuses to see that they were both blown. Damn! No horns, so no sense being there. Let the hound out and threw a dozen or so marks and called it a day. Hoping for another day on Sunday with a few guns blazin', we're gonna get 'em yet! That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest.
