Overall had a good year. Just had to work a lot harder at times to get the birds. Had access to some great properties, also lost some good spots to the quality hunting program and local guide service.
pretty much the same here.
I have been away from the area for almost ten years and found most of my ace in the hole spots have been turned into quality hunts or leased by local guides, or no longer open to hunting. I have shot my share of ducks and geese this year, but I feel like I have had to work for them more than normal. it seems like the only thing I could really dial in on this season where the snow geese and the canada geese.
Im not complaining mind you, I have pup that just turned a year old in the middle of the season and now with the last weekend coming up she is acting like an old pro. her very first retrieve was honker and Im hoping before we hang it up this season she gets to wrestle in another.
next year Im going to have a boat, so no more chasing the tide and getting chased back in by the tide, I will be hunting in style.
