ya they messed up the seasons a long while back more money down south.
The migrating ducks don’t even budge until after Christmas now.
Thats also when the big rafts of bluebills come down.

i hunt birds and deer mostly. archery opens up here on October 1st and ive been out of venison for a few months now so im growing very impatient. id like to get 3-4 this year. if i don’t fill the freezer during early archery, ill get out there with the shotgun when firearm season opens up but October in the stand with my bow is much more preferable to me than late November or December freezing my ass off.

Pintails talk about a dinosaur aint seen a sprig in i dont know how long.
Have always wanted to get one mounted that and a woody.
The only ducks that don’t eat fish.
Usually the Mississippi is freezing when the bills go thru, going over a bridge in the quads or even down around Andalusia just thousands upon thousands of bills and rafts after raft.

i do some geese/ duck hunting with my friend who’s a Maine guide. its awesome when you have a huge flock set right on your spread. one landed right on my blind a few years ago. could of grabbed him if i wanted .ive also shot 50 deer in my life as well as 2 moose and several black bear. i also like to hunt grouse, woodcock and snowshoe hares. we eat every thing we take. i did get my bull moose head mounted. its hanging in my brothers hunting lodge. he’s also a Maine guide. guides in Maine can also guide in Alaska. only state that Alaska accepts their guide certificate.

Plus they are more predictable then. You can use the stealthy shot to score some doubles often times also. I hit a double the last time I went out during blackpowder. Two does in one hunt, helps to fill the freezer!

double days are hard to beat even with the extra time spent processing a second deer. stepping back and looking at a garage freezer full of vacuum sealed or paper wrapped packages of venison is a damn nice feeling.

I caught one by hand a few years back… Foggy morning and he came in low and fast, by the time I popped out to shoot it, it lit on my lap before it realized it’s mistake… That little Ross was my blind buddy that day
