Well I guess it’s getting to be that time of year again. If anyone is trying to plan some time off, the 2004 Migratory bird laws are now available on the Vermont fish and wildlife website.

THEYYYYYYYYYYYY’RRRRRRE BAAAAAACK!!!
Had a great moment in the car yesterday where I had three mergies, in formation, flying paralell to the road I was driving about 20 feet off the driver’s side window for about a quarter mile. They were only mergs and it’s only April after all, but it was just so cool to watch them winging north, I almost missed a curve in the road. And lots of pairs od Canadas in the wetlands near my house. Guess I should start to clean up all the crap in the boat and garage from last season…

I haven’t posted in quite some time and I’m feeling like a slacker so I decided to put up something. Between a unbearable work schedule and some nasty weather I haven’t been hunting since Thanksgiving weekend. I have had some time to look into a few small river spots that have been showing some Mallards but I just can’t make the time. So sadly the waders are in storage, the boat is buried behind a snow bank, and the snowmobile will coming out this weekend for it’s first tour of the year. I really hate to see it end. All in all I had a pretty good year. Early on I saw alot more Woodies, and Pintails than last year. Through out the entire season I saw alot more Blacks and Mallards. I did see less Greenwings but we got a bunch of them last season. And in general I saw alot of divers. I’am wondering what other people thought of this season over last. It didn’t seem like where I hunt we ever got that big push of birds much after the first week of November but that may be because I haven’t been out since the first week of this month.
Anyway Happy Holidays to everyone and If I see anthing worth mentioning I’ll post it.
Good luck and keep swinging! Bubba…

Cloudy, Snow Flurries – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water
Tim- you guys are already in my will!!! Heard from Jim- he crossed Champlain to Cumberland Head last night- nary a duck to be seen on the big water and then I got a report from him late this afternoon that, in a spot in an old farmstead that’s always flooded and usually holds ducks, he saw a flock of mallards about 150+ strong bunched up in about a quarter acre of open water…last ducks of the season he reckons. Funny, but even with the snow and all the cold, I think the rain the last two days opened up a lot of water down our way- both the Ottaquechee and the Conn seemed to have more open water today than the last two weeks. Getting to it is the problem!!! Tim, I’m still counting the days until Spring Snows…Happy Holidays to everyone.

Rumours of my demise have been grossly exagerated…it’s just that after everything froze up so tight and we had to go digging for the ice axes, and then the ski hill opened, and there being no ducks and all, there’s been little to report. We’re trying for Maryland again in January, short of that all that’s left is cleaning up the mess of rusted guns, tangled decoys and the garage, which as snow is now falling at the rate of 3 inches and hour, I wish I had room to put my cars into. How did everyone think the season went. I have mixed feelings…
Tight Chokes!!!
