Daily report 08/09

Since tomorrow marks the start of the new fowlin year I figured I would start this up.

With the exception of picking up acouple haybales this afternoon to brush the blind up, we are ready. Even had time to build a dog kennel inside the pit, something I have wanted to do for quite awhile. I dug the floaters and shells out and took them to the lake. Was in the process of cutting new strings for some of the floaters when the rain started. I will get the Hardcores out of Dads garage this afternoon when he gets off work.

Less than 24hrs and I will be like a puppet master again. Pulling thier strings with the sound of a call...making them go where I want them to go, not were they set out to be.

As for the mornings bird sightings....

Goose movement was definately down compared to how it has been, probably due to the cloud cover and coming rain. Saw 2 flocks and a single, first bunch came by earlier than normal, around 7:30. The other bunch around 12:15 was kinda strange, they came down the river from the west and were about 250 yards high. These were definately not your normal Fremont birds, they could have come from Columbus or Schuyler for all I know, I just know they didnt just get up 5 miles away. Teal wise, we saw 1, so things arnt looking to promising there.

We have a full blind tomorrow so any flocks that do come in are gonna get ripped pretty damn bad. And with 10 guns, 5 bird limits, a full summer of thinking about it, and opening day with alot of young geese for the call back...I can easily see a decent sized flock getting wiped out completely tomorrow.

I just wish that we could slam early geese in this area. But I will hammer my limits of teal this weekend and hope for the best in the future.

Got two private ponds in the Basins for the am shoot. It's going to be sick. No dogs though too warm for me I learned my lesson. Sunday I am hunting with my fluff.

We'll be hunting private ponds & the prospects are looking good. But I don't know how the rain will effect things. Good luck to all of you tomorrow & be safe. And...most of all, have a good time!


ITS FINALLY HERE!

The blind is ready, the cripple chaser is in the water, the floaters are set, the bank spread is set minus the Hardcores(the expensive dekes dont stay out over night), and the breakfast will be chit on a shingle.

If the weather is fair in the morning, it could be fixin to be one of THOSE days.
