Well there is ten hours I'll never get back!
We were hoping with the "BIG" front coming in there would be a
push of ducks and geese. NOT! But like they, who ever "they"
are, A bad day hunting is better than any day working.
It wasn't BAD just very SLOW. No geese and only a few ducks. My
son earlier in the year took the boat down the river from Ulm to
a sand bar where the Smith dumps in and dug some pit blinds.
That was our destination. We got to the boat ramp and about to
splash the cow when some other hunters pull up and pile out. The
asked if we where going up or down I said down and they said oh
to the pits? Crap the world knows out secret spot... They
decided to go elsewhere. Down we go, you have never lived till
you run the river in an over loaded duck boat in pitch
blackness. About the time we get near the bar we see 3 head
lamps . Here some people had walked in pushing a game cart full
of decoys, to our PITS!!!! Well nuts! We almost ran on to a
island about half way back so we headed back there there. Not
the first choice but as it turned out it made no difference. 96
goose and duck decoys and three "spinners", and we we're set.
That's just what we did, sit ,sit and sit. DIL shot the only
duck that flew by... Loaded back up and went back to the ramp by
4:00. Three other boats went by one was a 20 jet with a "V" 8.
He must have smacked the sand bar we bumped on the way in but
I'm thinking he had to do some shoveling. There is a sound you
just "Know" when you drive a jet. He was a jerk anyway. When he
unloaded his tub and parked. He blocked another guy and parked
across the access to the handy caped parking and out house. I
don't know why a lot of people lose 50 IQ points when the get to
a boat ramp. What goes around comes around!
Well that it for this trip. Son is hunting elk wit my Buddy
today. Next week , Coyote calling YAH!!!!![/FONT]

Great looking decoy's, guess timing is everything when it comes
to huntin ducks and geese. They just cut a 350 acre corn field
right acrossed the road from my house but the geese haven't
found it yet. Once they do I can pass shoot them off the back
deck of my house ;D , got the gun loaded. Duck hunting is down
for the first split, comes back in on the 29th of Nov. Hope to
have some flight birds here by then.
