Went out for geese again. The fog really messed up our hunt. It didnt lift till about 1:00 but never lifted completely. We still managed three geese and I got a mouse that kept running around in the snow behind the blinds. That mouse got a load of Kent 3″ 1/8ounce of BB’s going 1560, that will really put a hurt on them at 10 feet! As for ducks we only saw one big group of teal.

Two of us went out for geese today. We saw over a thousand honkers sitting out on the ice. Just a huge magnet that kept the geese from decoying to our spread. Plus the 15-20 mph wind and heavy snow did not help our situation. It was still fun staying out in the weather. We didnt see as many ducks as we have been. People with access to feilds around Weiser should be doing excellent. Also I wanted to say thanks again to the guys who grabbed our bag of G&H floaters off the highway before a semi smashed them. We will tie them down next time.

I hunted this past Saturday and Monday. Saturday I hunted with my buddy. The geese were thick. We shot 6 geese and nine ducks by 10:30. We had a great hunt with birds right in the decoys. We both shot really nice pintails. Monday I got my dad out. He hunts but never duck hunts and has only been out four times. There werent very many geese flying but there were a lot of ducks. First flock was about 30 to 40 birds. I got two and heard my dad shoot once. Four birds fell, he shot a double. He is still bragging about it. I dont think ill ever hear the end of it:) We walked down to retrieve a duck in the ice and had about 25 geese circle right over where our ground blinds were about five times and three landed in the decoys. Oh well it was a fun hunt.
P.S. He admits he flock shot:)

Four of us went out Saturday for a decent shoot. It was really muddy and tough to hunt… we ended up with 20 ducks and a couple geese. We had four flocks of 200-300 ducks drop right in giving us some sweet shoots… Season is winding down, but still gonna try to get a few more hunts in.

Went out for geese again, this time I was by myself. Lots of geese in the area, I also saw a lot more ducks than I have been. I ended up with 3 geese and 3 ducks. I got another really nice drake pintail. I had plenty of chances to get one more goose but I was just never presented with a shot that I wanted to take. I had more chances at ducks too but the times I could have taken shot was while the geese were working the spread. It was a really good day.

I scouted for birds yesterday. I thought that because it was raining the birds would surely be using the fields, needless to say I was wrong. I did see a few geese but next to no ducks. The field hunting went from great to non existent in a week. I was lucky enough to shoot two bands last week field hunting.
