Good start on the season!
We start our season on the upper Connecticut River near Canada tomorrow and I'm not so optimistic. We have been seeing a real good crop of ducks throughout the summer but we have had no rain and our honey holes are all dry. We need water.The ducks we see have taken to the big lakes and away from land. Currently the same awaits us on lake champlain zone next week and they flood the protected areas so the ducks are in the no shoot zones. But hunting is what it is and we'll scout, set up, blow the call at first light and see what happens.
We also have a good size bear sniffing around the blind. Got to look in the book and see if I'm legal if I carry some double ought buck while water fowling. Have no need for a bear but my friends dog might have other ideas.
