Get Ready!!!

It's getting to be that time of year again! Cold, snow and lots of giant canadas!!! There has been a slow trickle of new geese coming in and they are easy and naïve to decoy spreads and calling. We watch the start of a small migration Saturday and it carried over into Sunday. Sunday afternoon was a very good hunt with a lot of these new birds decoying well for us. We had a fun group out there and the four of us were able to shoot our 12 geese and eight bonus mallards!

Before we hunted on Sunday we went out to one of our new fields and got that one ready. This new field is going to be a burner for us! "The Windmill" is a nice hilltop overlooking a traditional great flight path. They'll decoy into this field perfectly since it has a beautiful flat for a landing zone!

These next two pictures showed what we got to witness for over an hour and a half.  The show that these mallards gave us will always be etched in our minds!  Simply amazing watching hundreds of mallards backpedal at one time in front of us only 10 yards away.  Thank you to Chad and Pete for not wanting to shoot into the mass and letting us enjoy the show!  True sportsmen through and through.



Monday and Tuesday brought us a dusting of snow and even more birds for this coming weekend.  If you are thinking about hunting geese this year it is officially GO TIME!  These geese are new and they are fun to hunt.  A few of us went out on Tuesday and had a great time decoying geese up close and personal.  Pictures and a blog will be up soon on Tuesdays hunt and Bryce has a group going out tomorrow.  Give us a call to line up a hunt of a lifetime!
