Not a great hunt but the people I went with and the last 15 minutes made it bearable.. Had about 5,000 SNOWS come in the last 15 min of legal shooting light and the group of us layed into them Knocking down between 30-40 birds. we picked up what we could reach on the shore line and close in the pond and had to leave the majority there last night as the light went away fast and we had multiple cripples in the water that the dog could not get too. The guide was heading there first thing this moring to pick up the rest of the birds and I will meet with him in the next day or two to get the haul and divide it between the fellas.. Here are just a few birds and the guys. It was a pleasure to hunt along side DEERSLAYER yesterday for the first of I hope many hunts in the future. Great guy and a real crack up.. For your viewing pleasure the truck The fellas Big Fox and DEERSLAYER Jeff and Dave

Andy I too had a great time..Im sure we both had better things in mind for this hunt...but you know....Thats hunting and I meet some cool people..Thanks a bunch for the invite..I look forward to hunting with you again. The last few minutes of the hunt were great and I wish my camera didnt take a dump on me...the video would have been cool...I have never seen so many birds funnel into a pond that close before....
PEOPLE....It took the birds 10 mins to commit and set in on this pond...but when we opened up a can of whoop ass on them..it took no time for them to get the flock out of dodge...I reloaded my gun 3 times in a matter of 60 secs and shot the crap of some snows...what a great site to see and a hunt I will remember forever....it's nice to meet new people and a its a plus when they turn out to be as nice as Andy...one hell of a guy here...and Andy..if you ever want a beer man I will buy ya one at Dave's hole in the wall bar...shoot man I will even get her to breast serve ya LMAO...wow we had some laughs.... OH...I take back all the good I said about you...I just had a thought...you made my life flash before my eyes...ANDY...YOU ALMOST KILLED US...oh shoot never mind...I had a good air bag... Hey thanks again Andy...I look forward to more hunts bro

Nice hunt Andy. Did the guide not have a boat to retrieve the cripples?

that sounds dirty. but DEERSLAYER is right .. we decided last minute to hunt that spot, the guide was thinking of anything he could do to get us on birds since the day had gone so poorly. we just ran down there and sat on the bank and waited for them to show up. So he was heading there first thing this morning to pick up the cripples and any dead we couldn't get to last night. Kind of a crappy way to do it but I am waiting to hear from him to see what he came up with. Cold enough out and in that water that the dead birds will be fine. Looking forward to hearing from the guide and I will let you know what I hear.
