[QUOTE=Garry L Gordon;353146]Jerry, I hope your next post does not include "Doves Between Ice Storms," as I saw where one might be headed your way.[QUOTE]
Garry, Knew it was over. Another 3-4 inches now covered by ice. Season ended today, but actually Friday for me. Only got six on my last hunt, but fun while it lasted. |

Jerry,
Glad you were able to get out at your season's end. It's always kind of sobering to get out for a last day. I always start planning for the next season, but I know how "stuff happens" that can steal time from us. On to turkeys next? Good hunting!

Going to give the woodcock one last try this weekend. There are still ducks, snipe and quail before we get to turkey season. The biggest challenge down here is lack of game. No less than three woodcock hunts have not yielded a single bird.

Mills, “woodcock are where you find them” is a quote that seems appropriate in times like these where we simply miss the migrational flights.
I know the feeling. .

We hunted some promising looking habitat this past weekend and are planning to go back there in hopes the cold weather north of us pushes them down.
Unfortunately, you can't blame migration and weather patterns on the lack of other game birds once prevalent around here . . . .

Garry, The geese were here by the hundreds before the two storms came. But there will be more once the snow hopefully leaves the newly shelled corn fields and the ponds unfreeze. I've got geese until February 22 and rabbits to the 28th. Waiting for my elderly (  ) cousin to heal who cracked a vertebrae. Then maybe some coyotes at night until turkeys the second Saturday in April!
