Hunting Party of 4 people each day

Cant wait for this weekend, got some old Army buddies that were also DU committee memebers with me going to come up from Missouri. Most of my fields should have a majority of the corn out. Should be some fun hunting and if not the beans are all out.

kingkilla, we didnt do terribly great in the 1st season, the days we hunted were just too nice for any birds to be moving. I am excitied though, our marsh is one of the few around that has water in it, so all we need is some birds.

[iawaterfowler88]

We hunted Saturday in Sac County and killed a 2 man limit in an hour on public water. Killed 2 mallards, a widgeon, 5 gadwall, 3 greenwingers, a blue wing, and a goose. Busted 1/4" of ice on the way out in the morning.

Nice!! 1 drake? on the left? hard to tell. If I was there, it woulda been 3 shots and 3 ducks :lol: haha

[kingkilla]

[ia_young_gun]

Sorry killer! Haha, I didn't know "have you been getting into them pretty good." actually meant, "You better invite me to go hunting." LOL

Edit:"My bad, wrong Iowa"

[iawaterfowler88]

haha well it was 3 for 3 on the gaddies....the other 2 shots were at a teal early in the morning....flat out wiffed on them...10 yards with the PM doing 40mph through the decoys....I should have had one atleast but owell

[ia_young_gun]

Well, opening day has come and gone and the bird count....a lowly 2 geese and 1 gadwall. Absolute horrible hunting. Although tomorrow is sounding better with a winter weather advisory and 20-30 mph NW winds. Please tell me some of you guys limited out.

[kingkilla]

o my god. we had our limit of 24 in less than a half hour. it was awsome. then went out tonight and shot a goose. 4 mallards, 3 teal, 3 shovelers, 4 gadwalls, 1 drake pintale, and the rest were wigion. great hunting except for the cold ass rain. we might go goose hunting in the morning, but not for sure i have some sleepojng to catch up on.
