Did this weekend go as well as the openner?

It sounded a lot quieter this weekend due to last.  Must have been the low tides in the morning.  How did everyone do?

Had a great snow goose hunt last Sunday with my son and 12 year old grandson. We went out again this morning and had another just as good. This time I got some video. Going to try to post it later if I can figure out how!!  :tup:

We weren't out on the coast but in Eastern Washington we saw a decent amount of birds but not many that gave us a look. We scratched out four total.

saturday: 3 hours.. Perfect wind, direction, little bit of rain cloudy 2 birds, not decoyed flew by.

Today: decoyed on mallard, and it landed 30 yards behind my spread  :dunno:.

Very very slow weekend for me also, talked to a couple guys, one did just as bad as my, another guy did quit well. good weather but no ducks for me  :dunno: :tdown:

My little club in Sequim this week end was better for me over the opener. I ended up with a hen and drake smiling mallards, an in-mature mallard drake, a speckle belly, two cacklers and a honker.

Not quite as good, but nothing to complain about. Opening weekend: 2 guns to limits of mallards on saturday in about 45 mins. Sunday: 2 guns 2 limits in about an hour, mallards and 2 pintail (2 mallards were banded). Last weekend: 2 guns 2 limits of mallards and 1 pintail, stayed until noon to get them though. Yesterday: 2 guns 2 limits in about 50 minutes, a few mallards, a couple gaddies, and the rest wigeon.

haha thanks guys but I really dont deserve any credit, I just tag along for the most part with my buddy, Im just a deoy packer/shooter  :chuckle:. But it has been lights out these first two weekends, best We've ever seen it (knock on wood). And every duck we've killed has been over the decoys, except when I went in the afternoon on wednesday and got my limit jump shooting.
