Title: Tri-cities bird numbers
Post by: vandeman17 on October 18, 2010, 04:09:45 PM: Did anyone hunt around Burbank this weekend? If so, what kind of bird numbers did you see? We hunted near Othello and there were more birds then I expected to see. I am thinking about heading down there to one of the few spots I hunt but am not sure quite yet. If anyone is interested, maybe we can team up for the hunt as I am not sure if my buddy will be back from deer hunting before this weekend. :brew:

That is pretty crazy. Never had a limit that fast before. It would be cool to do once in a while but I like having to work at getting the birds a bit too. ;)

yeah, day went a little too fast. I was on a friends' family property close to the ball field on Redmond / Fall City Road. Really nice looking ducks- I wasn't expecting it honestly. Thought we'd shoot one or two then give up and go in for hot coffee.
