Anyone else been doing a rain dance?
« on: October 20, 2013, 09:34:21 PM »
I'm dying over here on the wet side... Not so wet! Can't hunt my areas until we get about a one full week soaker. Anyone else suffering like I am?

Yup! Between the lack of rain and the ridiculous fog the last times I've gone out I'm itching for some ducks!

No! I work outside and the rain makes it extremely miserable! I am perfectly content to adjust my duck hunting if it means M-F are tolerable. Sorry to dissappoint but let the dry days roll on!

Got 5 on sat. in the fog.
Most were so close and fast we couldn't shoot.
It's not true that I am good for nothing---I can be used as a bad example!!

:yeah:

I completely sympathize there! I work outside too. Maybe it can rain on the weekends :chuckle: That would raise the water level and keep M-F nice  :tup: I just want some ducks where I'm at  :chuckle:

 :yeah:

Hoping for fog in the morning, that way I can sneak up on them more easily after dropping my daughter off for school.  Hopefully those seven geese are back around the little islands.

While I sympathize with those who are outdoors working M-F, I need rain/water/wind... You know, duck hunting weather!

I with you whtelk... I'll get a few here before they head to OR. ;)

It could rain over here for a month and not make an appreciable difference. What we need is cold up north and soon.  Ya keep pokin at the same birds over and over and they get smart pretty quickly.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.
