Season Log
Posted: Sat Nov 04, 2017 1:54 pm
Date: Nov 4 goose season opener
Time: hunted till 9
Location: pit blind
Cloud Cover: heavy clouds
Wind Direction and Velocity: SSW 5-10 mph
Temperature: 67 stayed cool thankfully due to clouds and wind, in 80’s once I got back to Monroe
Barometer:
Moon phase: full
Special Notes: got all the duck decoys put out after hunt and had everybody there to help do it.
Waterfowl Activity: specks didn’t move much at all, lots of ducks using our farm. Lots of teal, pintail, spoons, gads, ring necks and saw a couple mallards and wigeon. All the geese are bodied up undisturbed west of us still.
Waterfowl Responsiveness: had 2 singles work pretty well, gave the first one a one more pass and it left.... 2nd did just right and was shot with its feet down. No luck with higher groups because they are in a preseason pattern and not interested in new places yet.
Hunters: 4 members
Guns:
Malfunctions: none
Dog(s): ace and delta.
Special Equipment: redbone and 24 full body specks
Kudos: Ridge’s new pup ace made his first retrieve, and did pretty well for his first hunt. shack’s dog delta is a vet and just enjoyed the morning.
curses: might should have tried the first single, but don’t like 40 yard shots.
Birds By Species: 1 speck
Photo Ops:
Ace
Delta
Big body down the road, pic only shows a portion. Lots of specks and snows in plowed corn.
