Next year, I’m making my waterfowl season as long as I can. Start early goose in ND, in August to late season in Nebraska. The MN season ending in late November is just straight depressing.

Time to give a second thought to Florida. We close January 30th.

I mean no offense when I write this, Florida wouldn’t feel like duck hunting. I want mallards in snow! Florida has it’s draw but it’s not waterfowl.

Yes, this was NOT the year for Hail Mary shots! I paid $30/box for 12 ga 3" Kent FastSteel #4 in Montana and those were apparently the only two boxes of steel in the state. I called everywhere from Kalispell to Bozeman to Anaconda to Glasgow and no one had anything. Finally an outdoors store in Lewistown pointed me to a little trading post out in the middle of nowhere. I took all they had on the shelf. Another fella at the refuge resorted to Mac's Prairie Wings. Had to take bismuth at $60/box. I'd go shoot trap reloads at sharpies on BMA before paying sixty bucks a box!Got out Saturday morning for the first time since deer season. Pretty slow but ended up with 3 shovelers. After looking in the gun safe that night, I decided to try and find more shells. Still looking this morning.

Jeezus! You should have let that one get out there a little further ... or rather a LOT further. Never heard of that before. Wait ... did your steel shot get wet and rust into a ball? Better check your shotgun barrel!

I knew you were something special ... but walking on water? Wow. Puts me to shame. And that's saying something! Actually ... says an awful lot.

I had a fox or dog or something steal a goose carcass from beside my garage before it could go to the coyote bait pile. Of course took it to the neighbours yard before devouring it before leaving the wings head and an embarrassing amount of feathers in his yard lol
