Title: Pretty Good Weekend For A Change
Post by: 4longbeards on January 13, 2014, 09:30:32 PM: I got 2 Greenheads, 1 young Drake Wigeon, & 1 Snow on Sat. 1 Greenhead & 4 Snows on Sun. Should've brought a few Honker decoys on Sat. had several flocks fly by looking but no decoys to close the deal!

If the house is rattling from being that windy. I am calling in sick. If you can get a spot, it is typically non stop birds flying and just an awesome shoot. Bring extra shells as you may have to lead a bird 2-6 feet at 30 yards and if you miss you shoot several feet behind it on the next shot. I never missed a windy day last season. Saturday might have been our second heavy wind day of the season in this area.
