It was a great season.Not as good as some, but certainly not as bad as others. I guess I should have, but I didn’t keep a count of the numbers bagged. I just enjoyed hunting with old & new friends and their kids. Having the kids along and seeing their reaction to birds landing in decoys was very rewarding.Probably the best part of my season was with my wife. We took a trip to the midwest and kicked about in smalltown, USA in several states, visited with old friends, made new friends, and I hunted a little along the way. Did not want to come home.

I guess the fat lady has all but sung. Had two flocks of geese land in the decoys about 6:55. Left just a little after 7. Ended up with 2 geese and 5 Merg on the 27th. Should have had several more geese, and a fat drake mallard. Terrible shooting! Needed more than two guns! Anyone going to be doing any late season hunting? I am going to try to get out a few more times before the 15th. Good Luck!

Sunny & Clear, Morning Fog – 35-40 Degrees
Hunted on the river with too friends last Friday morning the 19th. Put out decoys in a calm hole of deep water in the outward bend of the river so we could see up and down stream. It was a beautiful morning,2 bald eagles flying and screaming, turkeys roosting in the trees along both sides of the river and clucking and gobbling,2 otters visited in the decoys for a while, but almost no ducks. Never fired a shot. Saw about a dozen woodies, 2 mallards, and 8 gaddies, but we must have smelled bad, cause nothing came into us. Two other friends and their two sons hunted in my pond,set up in the flooded lowground field, and got 6 woodies. They said some mallards also came in but landed in the flooded timber. The ringnecks were “noshows”.

Cloudy, High Winds – 50-60 Degrees
Glad the weather’s about to change it’s way to hot. I haven’t seen it this bad in a long time. Only a few ducks in the area. I’ve had a pretty good year so far, killed 49 maybe I can get to 60 before the end. I’m only going to hunt about 4 more times and there isn’t much to shoot at.

Drove in to my land on the Pee Dee yesterday morning about 10 am and I don’t know where they came from, but it was full of birds – woodies, mallards, ringnecks, and a few gadwalls. Maple is at the back door and she and I are getting ready to leave right now. 5 of us are planning to hunt this morning, 3 Dads and 2 sons. It should be fun.

Southeastern Wildlife Exposition Feb 17-19 01-10-2007 07:58
– – –
Now in its 25th year, the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition has grown to be the largest event of its kind in the nation, attracting over 500 artists and exhibitors from around the globe who present their offerings to over 40,000 attendees. A 3-day celebration of nature that has earned a reputation for excellence, SEWE now hosts the world’s foremost experts in wildlife and nature art, as well as conservation research and environmental education.
Established in 1982, the first Southeastern Wildlife Exposition took place in February of 1983, with approximately 100 exhibitors and 5,000 people in attendance. Its goal was, and is, to produce an event which contributes significantly to the economy while promoting the conservation and preservation of nature and wildlife through its educational outreach programs and its focus on the visual arts.
The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is a critical part of the South Carolina and Charleston calendar. Run with the utmost professionalism and pride, an effort that began as a small winter diversion has now become the largest annual event to take place in South Carolina and one of the most popular and successful events in the country.

Last Fri. morning a friend and I went to my pond, saw the usual woodies and one group of mallards. The mallards were real wary, actually flew back to the river, and 15 min. later showed back up and tried to land in my small jon boat. We got 8(6drakes and 2 hens). On Sat. morning, I was not able to go, but two of my friends and their two sons went and bagged 3 mallards and 2 ringnecks and saw the usual woodies. Need a frontal change and some new birds.
