Hunted yesterday and birds on the move early again, wind kept changing and the only geese we had come in the deeks were totally wrong they were killable but didnt want a repeat of yesterday so let them swing and they left oh well.
Good news saw 2 huge waves of new geese come in yesterday 1/4 went on a lake just south of town and the rest went to Rawhide so hopefully we got new meat to play with.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Below Zero
started off on thursday hunting a warm water slough , snow was heavy and did not let up all day, 7 ducks and 3 geese ( should have had over 20 ducks but there was some poor shooting ).
on friday it was COLD! 8 below at 7am and didint get a whole lot warmer, no bird movement till 10am then it was good for about 3 hrs , then everything shut down again at 1 pm ,8 geese were shot
on saturday , slept in till 8 am then set up, could have waited till noon to get out there, didint see a bird till 2 pm , only saw 2 flocks due to below zero temps , killed 7 geese in the winter wheat, then about 3 pm picked up and went to the warm water slough mallards were all over it when we showed up, it was fast and furious, ended up with 4 ringnecks a lesser scaup and 3 mallards, then at 4:10 a flock of 20 canadas dropped in at we took 4 to finish out the day.
sunday started slow ( 5 below ) but around 9 am i shot a pair of wood ducks and a lesser scaup soon followed, around 10 am we went back to the winter wheat, just in time too , the birds were working great, shot 9 canadas by 1pm , then back to the slough for a couple of gadwalls, finished with 14 birds for the day.
bird numbers have dropped dramaticly in the last week, lets hope a warm front moves in or we are gonna lose whats left.

3 of us hit it this morning, kinda worried heard from several guys that there were no geese left and it was lookin that way early. Didnt see a goose til 10 then started seeing flocks goin up the interstate from south to north, then a huge flock of a thousand or so got up from due east of town and kinda went in all directions, sucked in 6 from it only killed 3 and killed a single that landed in the deeks without anyone seein him and thats was it for us, wellington 3&4 froze solid no birds on them so not sure if those were Rawhide geese or town geese? Be at it again in the morning.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 10-20 Degrees – Open Water
sunday morning, set up in a winter wheat field close to a roost, not much action till about 10am….. then it got HOT! 4 man limits in about 2 hours, mostly big geese , a few lessers but we were being pretty selective, It’s nice to see the big geese down, they decoy alot better than the little guys

3 of headed down yesterday morning and not quite sure what to expect, all the lakes around us are froze and pit has been hunted all week by a couple other guys in on the lease and they shot 17 in 4 days. Get set up only have been puttin out about 12dzn since it has snowed, 8:30 a pair dives in we kill them 10 6 sneek rite in and we hammer all 6, then a flock of 15 comes in skirts us we have 2 killable geese we let them swing and they land about 150 yards west of us, then perfect a little flock of 4 drop out of a big flock of 80 or so bomb rite in and Damn! only killed 3 of them, half hour later we kill the limit bird out of a nice flock and were filled by 11:30! Seems that little to no callin is workin best, most of the birds have snuk rite up on us when were havent been paying attention and barely makin any noise at all. Only saw maybe 200 geese all day so hope they didnt bug out.
