Posted By: Cedar Point MJC Guest Watermill, NY 01-22-2010 04:43 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees Shot the cornfield again yesterday with good results. The birds we took came as singles and doubles first, before a switch to larger groups. The majority of birds flew latter. We shot a full limit and after the hunt had marinated and smoked goose breast slices with dipping sauce, venison sausage, pickles, roasted pecans, and italian pastries. Beverage provided by Mr. Coors. A great day!

Posted By: Paul-Visentin Field Editor Eastern Long Island 12-20-2008 18:22 Cloudy, Snow Flurries – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water well guys due to some family matters I haven’t hunted much in the past couple weeks. What great numbers of birds we had moved south with that cold spell we had a couple of weeks ago and I have heard from the locals that it has been really slow.

With conditions getting worse and 2 new hunters we headed to the same spot….. At 2pm birds were already on the move. From 2pm till shootimg time we had non-stop action. We had a 4 man limit of black ducks and you could have killed… Continue reading

Posted By: George-Ruland Field Editor Suffolk and Upstate 10-07-2008 15:44 – – – Did not get many reports concerning early goose around the island, but from what I saw and heard most hunters harvested some birds during the month with better action reported on the east end over sweet corn. I was upstate during the first week and had some success, putting a few birds on the grill, although conditions were very hot with the birds sticking mainly to the water… . Reports from the 2nd and 3rd weeks indicated more bird movement with the start of corn harvesting and the return of more seasonable temperatures. Shoot more, shoot more often. Get out to the range…. The grand passage has begun. Be where the birds want to be, GNR.
