East for Canadas and Rio up North 12-19-2006 11:45

Spanked the Canadas for two hunts this past Sat and Sun, finished with 24. Lots of them in the area, way more than last year. Three of us went up on the first go-up of the day and had 9 on the ground! 10 minutes later we were done.
Hunt the rio yesterday and for the first time ever, I never fired a shot and I hunted for 7 hours. Hopefully this front will push in more birds. I only saw maybe 50 all day and they were high and on a mission.
Had one guy stalk my decoys, let him get within 75 yards and figured I should say something before he started firing on my dekes and me. I guess my blind is pretty well hidden, it was only 10 yards from my first deke!
Anybody else out there have anything to report???, this state site is pretty sad.

Hidden Gem Blind, South 12-12-2006 12:35
Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees
Well, Al (Desert Drake) and I finally hooked up for a hunt at his spot. No words are there for me to explain this spot other than AWESOME!!! He made me drive my atv blindfolded to the spot! So…, I can’t give you a location.
We could have been done in minutes but I held out for a few greenheads. So the hunt lasted about 45 minutes or so.
I can’t stress enough to people that you need to be where the birds want to be. Al is where they want to be!
Cant wait til the next time we meet up for a hunt!

I got “carded” at sportmans in LC on Monday. I was in there buying some shells for a goose hunt I just went on in Lubbock. I was told the same thing. Store policy. I guess I don’t mind. Seems a little silly and takes a bit of your time but I guess they are just covering their back sides. Three of us limited on Canadas Wed. and Thur. morning. Lot’s of geese around the Lubbock area now. Cranes have moved out and been replaced by geese. Mostly smaller geese although we did manage to bring down four honkers yesterday. New mallards down here in the south I noticed yesterday. I think I will try to hit them hard this weekend. Best of luck to you all.

I could not believe my ears this morning when I went to buy a box of shells at the Albuquerque Sportsman’s. The cashier asked me for my birthdate. I flipantly asked him if he was going to buy me a birthday present. He said it was a new store policy. I know one gets carded for beer and alcohol but for shells-give me a break. I asked if it was a State or Federal policy and was told it was a store policy. I think Sportsmans is over stepping their bounds and I am not happy about the policy. I would have thought that the cashier could tell that I am over l8,what with my white hair and obviously pudgy stomach. Anyone have a similar experience????
