I was up there the xmas eve.
Lots of ducks and geese flying around.
Lots of snow. Lots of ice along the shorelines.
Managed 5 ducks, no geese.
New flying snow all day.
Went back on the 29th. Icy roads.. ground temps cold, air temp 35.. lots of black ice.
launch was no longer snowy by very very muddy, little shore ice, little snow.
Set up a nice spread in a new locations.
Did not see 10% of the birds we saw the day before xmas.
Managed one goose, 5 ducks.
Left just in time as 4 guys passed our spread then parked boat down river from us preparing to try and pass shot standing behind a tree.
They did not bother us, But I hate it when I take the time putting out decoys to have a group set up down from you and would more than likely interfere. Oh well, that's hunting.
Better than the time we had to run 2 guys off trying to set up decoys not 50 yrds from our spread, in fact right between our blind and our boat..
