Labor Day

Went out after doves this morning with Tyler, Darin, Todd, Jordan Peterson, Korey, Levi, and Jayden.  It was fun but we never even shot at a dove.

09/01/11

Finally, hunting of some sort is open again.  Spent the morning chasing doves with Todd and Jordan Herzog.  It was a little slow, only got a dozen.  The sand burrs were horrible. The dog didn't stand a chance against them.

After that Todd and I went up to Beaver Creek to attempt to find some grouse.  Chase flushed one pretty quick and Todd missed.  The next one I was able to get a shot on and connected.  It was way too hot though.  The dog couldn't find enough shade.  Can't wait to try again though.

Green River

Went with the Westergard's on a weekend trip to the Green. Fishing was awesome. 24 fish in 2 days. Most around 18 inches. Can't complain about that.

A Little Fly Action

Spent most of the day fishing the ogden. Part of the day with Annie, part with Todd. Landed around a dozen. Pretty fun day off work.

Yellowstone 2011

Annie and I had the opportunity to go to Yellowstone with Todd, Mary, Jaron, and Colton again this year.  It was a blast as usual.  I always enjoying going up there and enjoying the scenery and the animals.  Here are a few pics from the trip.

Ice Fishing @ Rockport

Todd called me and talked me into taking off work and rescheduling a dentist appointment to go ice fishing.  He can talk me into anything.  It turned out to be a really good day, both weather and fishing.  Thanks Todd for talking me into going.

Late Season Geese

I am disappointed to say that I haven't been hunting in a month.  This has been one of the hardest waterfowl seasons for me ever.  Weird weather, school, and work have all made it a little tougher to be successful.  I did make a last minute decision on Friday though.  I called up Mitch and Ryan Stratford at about 1:30; we were in the field by 2:30.  I knew the geese had been in there and needed to give it a shot.  We set up and it was obvious that these were local birds.  They knew exactly what was going on.  We kept having to change things up until finally we figured out a way to get birds close enough to shoot.  We had action the entire time, but only had two groups we fired into.  They weren't ideal shots but that was as good as we were going to get on this day.  It was really fun to make it back out before the season closes.
