My brother Andy and a friend took three youths including my nephew Tommy on their first waterfowl hunt Saturday AM. Andy and Tommy arrived at the spot, one they had never hunted, just before sunrise, but did not get set up until almost one hour after legal shooting. No matter as Tommy shot five BWT, a drake mallard, and a Canada goose in less than 30 minutes! Even more impressive was that it took him only fifteen shells to get a duck limit and a goose with a 20 gauge shotgun. The other two boys each shot a goose and a total of three more teal from a different boat. That is a fine hunt for two 12 year olds and 10 year old on their first waterfowl hunts.
My brother Andy said that Tommy could have shot another limit of ducks in the next half hour before they picked up the decoys. Not a tremendous amount of ducks, but the birds that came in were right in the decoys. Approximately 100 teal, and a dozen wood ducks and mallards that came into the slough in addition to about two dozen geese.
A great YWD hunt!

Hunted Saturday in western Mn, saw a good number of geese in the area. My three man crew shot 7, should have been a few more but poor shooting.

We saw our first group of cacklers these last couple of days. They seem to be about two weeks ahead of their norm, at least for our area. More mallards have also drifted in and started to use area ponds more. This weekend we will be in central mn. for youth hunt,the two kids we have for this should have a blast,,,,,, we have been watching lots of ducks in the area.

I think those anoka geese are hold up off highway 10 across from coon rapids high school, yesterday I saw about 200 in the ponds and scrub fields. There is quite a few geese around town as well as the huntable out- skirts. Going westward this weekend,will post report then.

I agree with Peter — for time of year, seems to be less geese. Can tell they are getting some hunting pressure as seeing more in town but overall, numbers lower than last year. For example, coner of Anoka 18 and 14 — the sod farms — many fewer geese.

Things are pretty slow. Went out Sat & Sun. no action.
Posted for pass shooting south end of Geo.Watch. Only stayed out until about 8:00 AM
Some shooting at the north end Sat. by the sounds of follow up shots, some birds must have been taken.
My observations show there to be a lower than normal number of geese in the area.
Will try again Wednesday.

My hunting was a little limited during the first week.
I did get out Three mornings and have but one goose to show for it.
Hunted Monday and Wednesday near Elephant lake. A good number of geese seen. Poor early season shooting resulted in just one on Wed. The guys I regularly hunt with took seven on Sunday( I missed that shoot). Decoys in smaller water areas. Saw hundereds of ducks, mostly Woodies. Wild Rice was the attraction for both geese and ducks.
I hunted George Watch this morning. Nothing!! Saw no geese. A concern was that there were hardly and ducks either. I don’t know about hunting pressure earlier in the week, but saw no one else and heard no shooting this morning.
We walk in to Geo.Watch and set up for pass shooting. No deks this time of year.

What the “H” are you talking about ????
It is my understanding that field reports are actual hunting reports!!!!! Birds seen, birds shot, hunting presure ect. DURING THE SEASON !!!!!
The BSing and out of season stuff goes in our “state discussion forum”
I’ll admit things have been real slow in the forum, but that has nothing to do with the field editors.
Oh yes !!! everthing I’ve written above should be in the forum, not a field report.
