1st update- Went out to some of my private property today to drop off a couple bags of jerky i just smoked up and chat with them. The landowners daughter smoked a beautiful 9 point last year that had some amazing g2's with her car so that was kinda sad, but he gave me the info on some geese. Also last week monday i found a field with over 200 birds in it. No idea who the owner was. did some digging met up with them today brought them a bag of jerky and what do you know i have a great field that has flooded wheat and deer and over 120 acres! so that was a great end to my weekend. Work tomorrow then scouting tuesday and thursday before the opener but i'm pretty sure i know where i will be ;) Let em lock!

Scouting this morning saw about 100 ducks working the new field and only about 50 geese. Sat there from 6:15am till 8:30am. Gotta get to work. Next report will be thursday.

And Here is the report my buddy wrote up about my shooting. ( True Story btw)

Had a great ending yesterday on the water with 2 buddies. My one buddy has never been on a layout hunt nor diver hunted ever so I invited him along. He was first in the boat a little after daylight. The first flock of birds to come through had about 50. He pulls up and bang. One shot and 4 stone cold dead ducks! As I was amazed at what just happened a second flock almost a minute behind the first came through and he shot his last 2 shells and pulled a double. Never in my life have I seen a six bird limit so fast.
