Not a bad sunday...
« on: November 18, 2008, 08:36:56 AM »
Myself, my cousin, and a friend of his headed up north to hunt sunday. I was in awe of how many birds were getting up from the fields as we walked in. It was absolutely unreal the sound of wings and birds talking like crazy. Got in at 3am and of course someone local was already setup in the spot we wanted. We headed over to our second choice pond and setup a bunch of dekes, both in the pond and in the flooded barley behind us. Had some coffee and donuts for breakfast waiting for shooting time. The morning was slow and we had 3 by about 9am. Then, about 945 someone told the ducks to head back in from the bay. We had steady shooting throughout the rest of the day. There were several other groups setup, but for some reason the the birds loved our setup and were working all day. Ended up with 14, and lost one nice greenie that was playin dead till the dog tried to grab him, and he dove under never to be seen again. I'll post up some pics later, since work blocks photobucket and every other hosting site  >:( It was definitely the best day hunting i've had in a very very long time. No skybusters, no horrible callers scaring the ducks off. All in all a great day.
Take her easy, and if she's easy take her twice.

Sounds like a great day.  We need more of those.

Since i'm locked out of my other account I had to make a new one.

Here is the picture of the haul as promised.



We shot 10 yesterday, and the game warden who checked us said we had the most birds checked so far that day. Mostly widgeon yesterday though. And the skybusters were out in full force. Lots of calling and lots of high birds. Don't think i'll be headed back to samish on a weekend anytime soon.

This place you can walk in. Samish bay up in skagit county. It's no secret so I don't mind telling you about it. We met some guys who drove up from Tacoma last weekend. It can be really good or really bad up there.
