I will be out there. Im not sure I if I will be using decoys though, the birds I have in mind are like clock work as to the time and place they fly over my little slice of private heaven... of course I probably just jynxed myself.

I will be hunting Friday, Saturday and Sunday probably all in different spots.  Saturday going up to Whatcom Co. to take a father and daughter out on a hunt.  Sunday just going out with a couple friends in Skagit area.  Don't really know where for opener yet.

I'll be out Friday and Saturday. Did a bunch of scouting the past two weeks and have a couple spots in mind. They sure are stupid this time of year! Had several come right into the one spot I was scouting while I was standing in the open and the dog was swimming.

Cheers!

I have been seeing lots of geese.  They were using my field all last week and now they are on an adjacent one that I don't have permission.  Hopefully we can suck them over.

I will be if I can locate some birds on huntable land.  So far I’ve only found one bird in such a place but lots of birds in the parks, golf courses, the Boeing parking lot, etc.

Still looking though.

Went out with my buddy this AM...NOTHING (ok, we saw one, across the river). They had been pretty consistent in one spot and with their flyovers until about a week ago and now it's changed and we have no idea where they went.  :dunno:

Went out this morning, or yesterday morning I guess.  We killed nine, should have had more.  Not near as any flying as on the opener, so it took longer for us to kill some.  Saw quite a few I guess, the big flocks were just skiddish.

I have been out a couple times and fell victim to trespassers and sky busters, can't wait for the regular season.
