SNOW

 That's why I got loaded up and headed to town on Monday, just to wait on snow and geese. I saw a couple early flocks and finally I had a flock that wanted to work. They landed 30 yards from my furthest decoy, needless to say it was too far to shoot. I had hoped they would walk in to visit but that was a bust. The only other trick in my bag was to stealthily get out of my blind and try to reap a goose. I was able to get out of my blind crouch walk to a decoy, that I picked up and put in front of me. Then I started to slowly close the distance on the closest goose. When I was just about in range the rest of the flock freaked out over a bald eagle and picked up. The one I was looking to get stood up, looked around, I took aim and .... bang, dead goose.

So now all I had to do was wait for the snow...... unfortunately all that showed up was sunset. So I got my pic and started putting the spread together. 

one goose on an all day sit..... 👍😎

I went up to get the wheeler and it made the noise nobody wants to hear, you know that reer...reer...reer...reer noise. So I grabbed a sled and headed out to get the spread old school. After I got loaded I tried the wheeler again to no avail, and ended up pushing it into the trailer.

By the way the weatherman was WRONG again, does anyone know the definition of insanity?

So we were supose to be getting some more weather on Wednesday. So, I decided to try my river spot since everything should've be locked up tight by then. I'm not sure how true that was but it looked like everything was froze and the snow did show up off and on during the day, so that was awesome.

 I just don't know where the geese were. I could've loaded the truck with ducks but I only saw a couple flocks of geese and they wanted nothing to do with me. So I watched the ducks and a couple muskrat through out the day but no geese. I did have a nice lunch....

Then a large cup of cappuccino

Then I sat down and waited for the end of shooting, before picking up and heading North.

Couple of good days hunting. 😊

HAPPY NEW YEAR....

And I'm starting out on the wrong foot, no hunting this week because of the warm temps. 

Here's a rundown of my week... starting with Sunday after work. I got out of work and it was again raining hard out of the North. I went and set my traps, got home soaked, went downstairs to hang my clothes and noticed water on the floor. It was coming through a water pipe hole from the kitchen. I went upstairs to the kitchen and found water on the countertop and on the floor. I moved everything off the counter and put towels down then I saw where it was coming from.

 Here's the video

Here's the pics

The water was coming from the PVC pipe.

The leak was really weird it wouldn't just run the whole time, it would run for a minute or 2 then stop for five to ten minutes.

So I called the people who put the roof on and they came out the next day. Come to find out they only have 3 installers, so the people that put my roof on were subs, which makes sense. The other weird thing is I've had this roof on for 2-3 years with no issues, but with the North wind and hard rain the chink in the armor was found.

So that was Sunday night.... Way to go... 💜VIKINGS💛 🙌

Monday I checked my traps and had a grinner. Tuesday I did many of my to do list tasks.

Today I went and checked and pulled my traps, we've got a cold snap comin' in and everything's going to freeze up.

COME ON WINTER

Got couple more days of duck season and goose should start to get hot the colder it gets. 

I'm ready.
