It’s been dead here too.

A good rain always freshes them up a little.

We got plenty of rain and water. Just no Birds yet. Hopefully some will show.

Sometimes a solo hunt is fun. We are scratching a duck here and couple geese there but this water should help along with the cold snap in the forecast. Nobody had faith in this spot since there hadn’t been a bird on it in 3 weeks but me and the pup decided a hunt with just the two of us would be fun. These two did it pretty without a single goose decoy out.

Got to hunt with an old friend today.
Sun and wind always does its magic.

To be honest he is having a real hard time.
I’ve been giving him daily reports on conditions and kills but it’s hard to talk with him because he can’t participate.

He has always been such a big part of my hunting and management plan that it is hard to make plans and hunts without him involved.

Love is so much bigger than limits of ducks or cool places to hunt . The years we spent together on the Ohio , Green, Pond, Tradewater, Cumberland, Mississippi rivers plus Barkley and Kentucky lakes and bayou du chein made a lasting impression on me and taught me so much about ducks and life and dealing with tough and changing situations but love and respect and companionship are what I learned .
Now I just think about that and count my blessings.

Had two flocks of snow geese fly over me in Shelbyville this morning,
had to look them up on my phone to make sure. Never seen them before.

And then…..

I was deer hunting. I didn't see any deer and went home cold....

Well Papa is still down but Mr Bee filled in quite well. He is a brilliant conversationalist and a crack shot with his 870 even if he is camera shy.
It was a nice low key hunt. The woods can be tough on grey windless days.

Good job. BM I just wished I had some birds to hunt. Nothing around here. YET. Maybe after Christmas some will show up

Strangers don’t survive in Aintry. A duck hunt in a grouse thicket. Mighty fine if you know a local.
