Well this weeks done

 I went to Fort Wayne yesterday to try for a goose or 2. I knew it was going to be a long sit because of the weather, sunny and cold. There were a couple flocks that got up and flew around in the morning, giving me a little hope but nothing wanted to play. So I waited and held out hope for a midday duck to fly into my spread. Well, that didn't happen so all I could do is wait for it to close in on sunset. Sunset showed but the birds didn't, when I started packing up.... that's when they showed. All that was left to do was pick up and pack in the spread.

Today was a repeat of yesterday so I got my shopping and house stuff done. 

Wednesday I'm working.

Thursday looks fo be the best day to get out hunting and I've got a tire appt at 1100 am.

Friday-Sunday I work 😪,  so guess I'll have to wait til next week.

This week in a nutshell..... fog

 With only a week left of duck season Monday I was in Fort Wayne, hoping to put a couple more ducks in the freezer. Not the case... it started out pretty foggy and only got worse.

 I was able to put a couple geese down and only had to chase the one 75 yards before I caught him.

After the high of success on Monday I decided to keep the ball rolling and head back to Fort Wayne on Tues. My landowners soon to be son in law was visiting from ND and asked if he could go with. I didn't have a problem with that the only thing was I wasn't going to be getting any sleep in the blind. The other problem was I think Josh was bad luck. The ducks and geese that were in the air wanted nothing to do with us. The only thing I can really blame it on is him being bad luck. 

Wednesday I worked and did my shopping for the week. 

This morning I took the boat to a lake close to me to try for some more ducks. They all left out before shooting time, they must've known I was there. I only had 2 geese come by the first one had some other place in mind to be. The second showed up 5 minutes after I decided to pack it in. He came in just a honkin' and lookin' for some friends to hang out with. When he noticed the dude in the water standing next to the boat in the middle of the spread he just kept going. Oh yeah and did I mention it was still kinda foggy?

Only got one more day for duck season and that's Monday, I even double checked the regs. I'll probably find myself back in Fort Wayne trying for a limit or sleep which ever comes first.

Newsflash

 When your looking up when any certain season ends make sure your looking it up in this years regs.

After seeing the error in my ways looks like it's goose season next week.

windy, warm, and rainy

 That's been the weather report here for the last couple days. I had an invite today to go out to my buddy's and try for a deer but the weather is warm and super windy. Hopefully I can get a raincheck and head out on Monday.  Yesterday I was in my magic 5 and watched squirrels all day. I only have one more day left and that day is Monday, for whatever reason the muzzleloader season ends at the start of the week, good for me.

Now the other thing that was "good for me" was Monday.

She's a 95# doe so she's not huge and I would really like to put another one with her to get put me in meat for the next year. 

Monday's my last day.... I am sick and tired of deer hunting and it makes me sick to think of all the duck and goose hunting I have missed. 

Lesson learned this year... I AM NOT A TROPHY HUNTER.. I am a meat hunter and will not pass a decent buck again any time of the year in the hopes for a bigger one later. 

You might need to remind me of that before next Oct. 😉

only 1 week left

 I spent all week and most of this fall/winter trying to shoot a deer. I have yet to put a tag on one, I spent the whole week in a tree watching squirrels and coons. All I can think about is all the waterfowl I could've been hunting. More on what I learned on this year's deer hunt, next week.
