Todd and I decided to brave the wind today. We started by setting up on 12 geese in a corn field in West Weber. We laid under burlap for two hours and nothing. On the way home we checked the roost; I guess the wind was enough to keep them on the water for most of the day. After that we headed out to Crane for a little duck action. Mitch ended up not working today so he joined us. It was just a little too windy though. We had decoys upside down and blowing away, mojo's that wouldn't spin, and just plain cold everything. We had our pintail limits in about 10 minutes, and that was 90% of what we saw today. The bull sprigs were the best we've seen this year though. Also, we hunted both dogs on islands with no cover; Jick used the blind and I wrapped Chase in burlap. It was kind of old school but it seemed to work. They are two good dogs to hold still enough to decoy birds in wide open territory. It was a slow, fun, windy day.
What a stud!
Another fun hunt even though the wind was blowing hard. I've never spent more time laying on cold ground ;)
