After 10+ years - finally got to this remote area and yes I was the only hunter there
I studied delta area for a day and half to learn I had it figured right from the start.
Big boat anchored in cove 7 miles from hunting area and have 5 miles of mud flats to get past before hunting can start.
Mud flats up here have killed people. Walking - can get legs stuck and incoming tide covers you with cold water or boat get stuck in deep mud and not re-float when tide comes in.
So I take mud flats very serious. This one has been hard enough so far but most geese were in an unchecked area.
I went in with all kinds of safety equipment: waterproof VHF radio, flares, commercial immersion suit, extra food and drinking water, extra cloths and I'm sure there was something else I can not recall at this time. I even had a second outboard motor - remember - this is a remote area. I was by myself on this trip and there was no other hunters that I know of anywhere.
Normal outboards restrict travel to around high tide. Go-Devil motor must be in my future.
Lots of birds (ducks and geese), killed 4 ducks the first 20 minutes in hunting area, then moved to hunt geese, they saw me first and moved to other groups of birds and without other hunters in area - they were not moving.
I only was in delta for an hour are so and left because water was dropping out fast and next high tide would have been around AM next morning.
Delta is open to over 75 miles of open water in some area and the rest of delta is open to 12 miles of open water - makes for big waves at times and two ft waves every EBB tide.
Lord willing, I will be going back after this weekend and hopefully have my son with me.
I have a list of 6 or 7 hunters that want to go. I do not know any of them, found them on another hunting site.
Delta has no more than 6 inch high grass for cover, so goose hunting will be interesting.
