Been hunting and scouting hard for the last week! I'm worn out, but it has paid off!!!
***I broke my ikams*** :banghead:
Hunted out west with a few buddies. Got a visit by the federal and state gw's. Everybody was in compliance with the laws and regs, except the brother in law. They allowed him to buy everything on the spot since he is in active military service.

Got permission on a field with 6,000 geese on it. Woke up late at 6am. Loaded up the decoys and blinds, got there at 8am. While I was putting out the decoys in the wheat field in my blue jeans and tan fleece, I talked 1,000 in and pulled a triple. Then my 14 year old cousin got his first goose.

Hunted a pond the next day, and my cousin did some long range work on a gadwall. Then we had a few more come in nicely.

Then the duck gods blessed us this morning. I called a land owner last night about a pond... Ends up that it was already leased out, but he told us of another pond of his that usually has a few mallards on it.....
Best hunt of the season!!! I had such a great time watching the big groups come in and land, then my cousin got to pick out the drakes and watch the dog do some descent work!!! Just an awesome hunt!!!
I also pulled another triple and a double. Done by 7:25am.
