2018 Regular Season
Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2018 12:04 am
Date: 9/29/2018 (Opening Day)
Time: 0620
Location: The Property
Cloud Cover: Bluebird Morning
Wind Direction and Velocity: Light and variable
Temperature: 47 degrees
Special Notes: Brother-in-laws first ever hunt
Waterfowl Activity: Saw hundreds of Canadas highflying and heading South. Saw approximately 50-60 wood ducks most in 5-8 birds groups. Saw 5 mallards. I believe the cold snap pushed all our teal out.
Waterfowl Responsiveness: Birds wanted nothing to do with the spread.
Hunters: Myself, Jillian (wife), Steve (brother-in-law)
Guns: Browning A5 (mine), Browning Maxus (wife), Beretta A300 (mine-brother-in-law rental)
Malfunctions: None to speak of.
Dog(s): Rusty
Special Equipment: 2 spinners, one pulsator
Curses: The forecast had been for rain all week until Friday when the storm stayed south. Weather was all together too nice. Without rain the last week the water level is low on the property and the smartweed is on dry dirt. The birds we got were quick passing shots and the 2 new hunters never even got their guns shouldered...
Kudos: Rusty made a heck of a retrieve on a lightly hit Mallard which he about a 60 yard retrieve on through some thick cabbage.
Birds By Species: 1 drake wood duck, 1 drake mallard, one barn pigeon
