RE: team 8
 

Whats up guys??? How was everyone's (that had it) early goose opener? I took my first opener skunk in YEARS...birds ended up moving 1+ miles north of us for some reason....

RE: team 8
 

Our opener is this weekend but I'm working nights and don't think I'll be abel to get out and then next weekend I'm going up north bear hunting so hopfully I'll be able to get out before early season closes.

Sucks about the skunk that's always a sour way to start the season but hey, there's always tomorrow right.

RE: team 8
 

You guys been out??? Birds changed their patterns again, I am getting frustrated this year!

RE: team 8
 

I'm going out whenI get off of work this morning. There were about 300 sitting in a private slough my buddiehas permission to hunt so I'm gonna be his wingman for the morning and hopfully get a good start towhat should be a pretty good year from all the birds I'm seeing.

RE: team 8
 

Well I dropped 4 and my buddy got 1 this morning. We ended us chasing them off right away and they just never all came back. So it was a good start but it could've been better.

RE: team 8
 

Good job! I am definitely looking forward to duck more this year based on where my new hose is, I have been having a hard time not chasing salmon....

RE: team 8
 

Should we have a team name???

If so how bout team Lay down or put 'em down???

Finally into a little action here with duck opener, it will just get better!

RE: team 8
 

Yeah we could use a name. I like the put'em down one. We had opener here last weekend andI just got out for the first time this morning ended up with 4 so it wasn't to bad but the worst thing was I didn't miss so that's all the shots we got all morning.

RE: team 8
 

Lets get at least one more team vote and then we will go with it...

Things looking good there this fall jlb? One of these days we need to get together and hunt....glad you are on my team...

This weekend should be good 2 days of ducks and then tues is my annual lottery hunt, if nothing else a lot of fun is ahead in the next few days!

RE: team 8
 

Thanks man, acctually I've only been out 2 times so far once for geese and once for ducks. So if you put it in that perspective it hasn't been to bad as of right now. I'm going in the morning when I get off of work so we'll see what happens we have a field we're hunting in where about 400 geese and 200 mallards have been sitting for the last 3 days soI hope they are still there or if they're still there when we show up I hope they come back. But we'll see what happens.

There really hasn't been that my birds around this year as of yet but the best is to come. So I've been doing alot of Muskie hunting this fall so far and that's only getting better as the water cools down.

Anyway, I hope to have about 6 ducks and 2 more geese to add to the tally after this mornings hunt and some pictures possibly but we'll see.

RE: team 8
 

Well the managed hunt and weekend was a bust with the NICE weather...

RE: team 8
 

Thursday morning I went out like I said I was going to and ended up with 3 mallards 2 woodies and 2 canadians one of which was banded so it was a good morning. Hopefully, tomorrow morning will be just a good if not better.

RE: team 8
 

Way to go jlb!! It has sucked here, we need our migration to get going..

RE: team 8
 

There are thousands of geese in the area right now it is uncanny, and the big push of geese hasn't even started yet!! Also, with this last storm it pushed alot of divers to the area. Went out this morning and saw a couple thousand winging on the lake but nothing came close enough to get a shot at. But with the winds as strong as they were I coldn't get my lines far enough out into the lake, safely, for them to see but next time I will.Now I just hope they stick around for a while at least until I fill my deer tag then its GAME ON!!!

RE: team 8
 

Popped 6 this morning by my self, lost one somehow so 5 on the board!!

RE: team 8
 

Good, I'm hitting the lake when I get off of work so hopfully I'll be posting 6 more tomorrow night.

RE: team 8
 

Got 6 this morning, was COLD out there!

RE: team 8
 

I cut 4 this morning and yes it was very cold. I don't know what the deal is but the spooines this year are not even looking at the decoys and are staying just far enough out so you can't take an ethical shot. I have an idea I'm going to try one of these days coming up, as long as **** don't freeze up on us.

RE: team 8
 

Looks like you fixed your spoonie issue!

RE: team 8
 

Yep, we did. For some reason they did not like my canvasback decoys so I took out all of my cans from the spread and added a few more loose decoys and another line of redheads and they sucked in like it was a magnet. Going out again on Thursday and Friday and it should be another slaughter.

RE: team 8
 

Well, all the water locked up last night and all the ducks left so my duck season is over. Now, that's not counting geese which there are a ton of yet so maybe get the number up there a little bit during the late season.

RE: team 8
 

Well managed 2 buffies on a short shoot sat am....season is sadly winding down.....

RE: team 8
 

Anything going for anyone else?? We have a 2 day late duck and a long late goose season in January south of me but season is pretty much over :(
