Last fishing trip of the year

Well it was the last fishing trip of the year, and even though I didn't catch anything it was a great time/day. I went up to LM in the car because the new fishfinder is not on the boat yet. I got up there at 2ish (pm). Started talking to a couple guys (older) who were also from Fort Wayne. The way they were talking they had fished up there before, but had not caught anything. The older of the two come to find out only had vision in one eye that's why he gave up golf. So fishin' was alot easier for him. The whole time I was talking to them the more I realized the older guy Loves to fish. He just kept casting, he didn't sit down, he didn't stop to get a drink he just fished.
I just kept wishin' to myself that he could catch a nice king. At least an hour went by and finally the younger of the two hooked into one, I grabbed the net and ran down to them. On the way down to them I noticed the younger one trying to give his pole to the older guy. I took the older guys pole while he took the pole with the fish on it, then I landed the fish. I wish I could put into words how happy they were. Anyway like I said I didn't catch a fish but my wish was granted anyway.
Well time to put the poles up and get the guns and bows down, so I probably won't have a new post until deer seson starts on Oct. 1 so until then : take some time and do something nice for someone you don't know it could be the best thing to happen to you all day.

Last day early goose season


Got out this morning for the last day of goose hoping to get a couple. It sure was a great morning mostly sunny w/some clouds.

Well I set up in the middle of the river tied off to a log. Shot 3 of my geese then was waiting for a couple more and started to get the feeling like I was moving. Didn't think too much of it because I'm on a river and just thought it was my mind playin' tricks on me. Well the dekes I set out in front of the boat were slowly starting to get tight to the log I was tied off on.
Crap, I'm moving with the wind tied to the log trying to mow down my deke's. So I jump out put my dekes on the upwind side of the log, help the log move out of my spread without taking any of my deke's with it. Get back to the boat post it out so I can keep hunting and .....did you hear a goose? yep that's a goose started calling and brought the 5 pack close enough for me to hit one of them (saw the feathers fly) but didn't drop him. They flew out 2-250 yrds and came back . By this time I was back in the boat and ready, dropped one on the first shot then concentrated on the cripple. He also went down so I untied the boat collected my geese, picked up my deke's and went home with what????? Yep Limit


MMMMMMMM geese

By the way I'm still sick

Well got out today for some dove hunting. Boy do they learn quick only saw 21 and shot 3. However I really didn't stay out too long because as of yesterday morning I've officially got a cold. So I'm home right now trying to get rid of it as quickly as I can.
I've only got 2 more days to goose hunt for early season and one of them is tomorrow so wish me luck at getting well.

Finally got out this morning for a goose hunt and low and behold I got 2. Here's the pic
Now some of you more clever hawk-eye hunters are saying to yourself right now: Self - those ain't geese.






You would be correct in my haste to get out to the dove field today I neglected to get pics of the geese. However these doves decided to stand in for them. Hunted the first half for geese-2 and the second for dove-2. Still seeing alot of dove but they definitely know whats going on now.

With Sept. comes the new season lets go hunting


Yep tried Tues for some geese to no avail they just flew by laughing at me, nobody wanted to play. So I went to the dove fields for some shooting , had two great hunts, got 12 yesterday and 7 today.
Only took one pic this was yesterday. Really hopin' I can get out next week and put some geese in the freezer.

Talked to some guys from MI today, when I went back to the car to get my camera. Come to find out they have come down here every year since the legislators took away dove hunting up there.

How is it in the great USA, that people with more time than sense can decide what it is that I either need or don't need????? Why can't people just leave others alone, to do what they will as long as they aren't hurting anyone else?????

Don't let ANYONE take away ANY of your rights because someday they will take away a right you do care about.

Trust me our rights are eroding little by little- seatbelt laws,smoking laws,helmet laws, whether good or bad these are our rights and should be protected as such.

Alright enough politics for now.

Hunt hard, Have fun, Enjoy what you've got, it can be taken away.
