My little brother is home for the holidays so I took him out to Grassy Lake Hunting Club yesturday. We grew up bird hunting down there and spent many great days in those pits. We went every season from the time we were about 9 years old up until College. It was an awsome day and a great hunt, Its always makes the hunts better when you can spend them with friends and family...

There are tens of THOUSANDS of birds down right now (alot specs and snows too) but they are mostly nocternal due to the weather. As soon as we get some weather down there it will be some fast shooting....

We had 2 hens land in the dekes, but I had geese workin so I spared their lives ;)

It was dark both times I passed marion, so no report there. But I have seen so TONS of geese around here.
They are all sticking around or heading north. Its sopposed to be 65 today, then drop into the upper teens tonight. It should be great this weekend.
