Divers In Michigan!
Well the Divers finally showed up....bk7799, Goose Spanker, and myself braved the 30 MPH Northwest wind and setup for some open water divers. We pulled in 2 hen buffies early morning and put them both down. A bit later we had a flock of hooded mergs come up the west longline...4 of them fell, one got up and flew away
but we ended up with a beautiful drake and 2 hens which 'Spanker is getting mounted. JUst after the smoke cleared a gropu of 6 BIG divers swung just on the edge of range, bk7799 dumped the closest and to all of our surprise it was a white einges scoter. Fun hunt even with the wind. It will only get better.

Canis - first of all welcome back you ^%$%*&^*&^!!!
I saw my first longtails this year while steelheading, yet to see them while hunting....
These are also the first scoters we have seen while hunting, I have seen them while scouting....
