Today we hunted from 645 until 730 on the west shore of Crystal Lake. It's a little chilly here today, around 30, with a 15–20 mph wind. Probably because of our low expectations of birds, we got a little lackadaisical in our set up this morning and situated ourselves with that wind directly in our face, which wasn't that much fun. With no birds flying or anywhere apparently in our area, we decided to pack up and head back to the house to get a head start on packing for home.
Our plan for this afternoon is to hunt the Hoover GPA from 1–3:30 and then hit the spot we finished up yesterday for the last 45 minutes of the day. That will give us 3+ hours of pheasant hunting and conclude our day 10 minutes from the house. This will allow us maximum time this evening to finish packing for home.
Jackson will hunt pheasants tomorrow, so he will apparently finish the trip with just two ducks. A positive note would be that we were very well camouflaged today, as you can barely see Dan just behind me in this picture...
Jackson looks so cozy! Sorry it was a no duck morning! Happy Pheasant hunting!
ReplyDeleteHe was cozy. Notice that he's curled-up behind me, which meant that I was blocking the wind for him. He's no dummy...
ReplyDeleteWe are 75% packed already, so tonight's not going to have to be a late night of packing.
I am anxious to read the recap of this trip and to know if you ever plan on going back to this location.
