Well I finally got out to do some duck hunting. This was my first time and I am still learning. I made the trek from the west side to the east to scout out some areas to hunt. I wanted to take my dog to an area that might not be to congested to see how she might behave. I did not want to bother others that might be in the area. I did get a late start, not arriving until 10:30am. Although, I did not encounter any ducks, I did see some high flying geese. What really prompted me to right this post was to report what I observed. Many lakes in the Seeps Lake region were posted with a caution sign stating that a pesticide was added to the water and that eating the fish, swimming and drinking the water was not advisable. Needless to say i did not let the dog near the water. I just wanted to report this to others so that they may further research the situation so they do not make the journey needlessly. I would hate to see something happen to someones dog. If anyone could shed further information on the pesticide treatment it would be greatly appreciated. After all this, I still had an excellent time with my dog. I let her run free in the adjacent fields. The smile on her face was priceless.
