Short day

 Well, I went to Mongo coyote hunting just kind of late in the day just kind of looking to see what's around. See if I can find any tracks,  I did find some 🦃 tracks and I did cut a bunch of coyote tracks.I did not call anything in, I had to call it a day after I realized my Red Dot on my shotgun, the battery was dead. My shotgun was all I brought cuz I figured I was going to hunt a bunch of close in shots nothing long range or rifle shots. I was going to hunt some scrub, well I got about I don't know three or four five sets in and had to call it a day. It was a fun time, I didn't see anything, next week's supposed to warm up 💩 but I'll let you know what happens then.

Coyote hunt and a start on March clean up.

 Tuesday I went coyote hunting, did alot of walking and only called in Eagles, Hawks, Blue Jays, and Woodpeckers. I hunted sun up to sun down and the only fur I saw was 1 grinner.... truly almost smoked him, but he showed right at the beginning of my set. The weather was pretty mild in the mid 20's to start and ended in the 40's, not great calling weather.
Next week is 12 on Monday and 18 on Tuesday so I'll be getting out a couple times I hope to try and put some fur down.
 
Took a day to clean up the garage a little, even got all my waterfowl gear put away. So when the snow melts I'll be able to get it on the pad on the side of the garage.
 
By the way... yes we have snow... it's actually snowing right now.
 
Hope everyone is well and warm.

Another season

 Yesterday was my last day for goose in the 24-25 season, because of the ice storm that moved in last night.
However, yesterday was a really fun hunt. I actually almost got out of the house at a decent time, thereby getting to the field at a decent time. I ... oh wait... update... I said I was having trouble with my wheeler a couple weeks ago. Well, I called a mechanic I ask for advice and he said check the gas flow, which was good. If that's not it check the spark plug, well that was my problem, it was covered in carbon. So, I put a new one in and it ran better than when I first got it. Very happy... back to it.
I put out all of my full bodies and a 12 pack of silo socks and that was my spread. I shot my first 3 geese,on the phone, talking to my buddy that now lives in WI. He was waiting for his son so they could go drill some holes in an ice cube and sit on it..... 
Well, after his kid got there he hung up and I finished my limit with 2 more birds by 9a.m.
 
 THIS IS WHERE THE VIDEO IS.....
 It was very enjoyable to take my time, to break down the spread and not be in a hurry.
While I was getting ready to leave I did have a visitor that was lonely. 
Yep, I could've loaded the truck yesterday.
Well, even though I'm running out of seasons I still have coyote and fox 'til the end of the month.
Then it's March clean up.
