Windy Day

The weather forecast was calling for wind with a chance of rain.  My dad and I made a plan to hunt it.  We hiked just over 2 miles out into the marsh and got all setup.  The wind blew and we waited and waited.  It wasn't until it got really nasty that the ducks started flying; but all we saw were teal and shovelers.  I was really hoping for a mallard shoot.  Guess I'll have to keep searching for them.  I can't seem to find them this year.

Make sure to watch the video in HD.

Snapshots

So I have entered a couple photos on the KSL Outdoors Snapshot segment.  So far the 2 that I have entered have made it onto the show and the first one actually won.  Here are the videos.

Goose Down!

I was able to find a few geese in a field right before it closed for the split.  I text my dad and he said he could make it the next morning so that was the plan.  Arrived at the field, set out my dozen GHG FFD Lessers and got hid under burlap. 

Not too long later, here came the geese.  We were patient and let them circle a few times.  They finally came in wide and started landing about 60 yards out.  I grabbed the flag and started flapping it like crazy.  It kept about half the flock from landing and they circled right back to us and gave us a great shot.  I missed my first but hit my other two shots.  Todd hit his first and connected.  Three out of one flock is pretty good for us.  Can't wait to do it again.

Whitefish Central

I went fishing with Clayton Green up on the Weber.  We didn't really have much luck on trout but did we find the whitefish.  We caught a whole mess of them.  Just had to share a video.

Opening Day

Opening day turned out to be kind of a bust.  Todd, Darin, Steve, and I headed out to the marsh at 4 a.m.  We were just finishing setting up when the shooting started... 40 minutes early!  We would have shot a few more had shooting started closer to legal hours but I'm not going to let early shooters ruin my season; there's still another 106 days to hunt.  Ended up with 3, can't wait for some birds to show up.
