Frozen ponds, just hunt geese

Thought I would send an update from the original post. Lots of ice and nothing melting during the day but found enough open water to scratch out a few.

Ahh I got some cheese over here for that wine. ahah Not trying to be an a** but it sounds like you are waiting or wanting perfect conditions to be able to shoot birds. I can tell you that wont happen. Its all part of the game, I have access to private ground but end up shooting lots of ducks on public. My private spots are good for about 3 weeks during the season and crappy for the rest. Instead of complaining I've found new areas, new techniques, and do a ton of scouting. No fault except my own if I dont have a good day. I bet someone with the same problems as you was able to find a way to kill birds this weekend. Dont get down on yourself find away to adapt and make the best of a hard situation.
any new updates with the warmer weather? starting to thaw at all?
