Im in on Waterfowl 2015. went out on pre season opener on the 6th. was hunting in a t shirt and short. was about 25c no wind. downed 5 birds of about an X of 60 birds. since then field has been flipped and no birds, so been scouting area and will probably hunt duck opener on 19th for geese and mallards!
equipment setup is
Remington Versamax waterfowl pro
Kent Silversteel 3.5" BB shells
about 60 Avian X Flocked goose decoys
and about 40 Avian X floaters of all types along with 6 field decoys!
no retreiver dog though
Best gun ever! And you done good on the honkers man wish I could get into some, as I predicted Monday was a failure. I like your gear
whats funny is that, on opener on the 6th. i had about give or take 60 birds. first was a loner who came. then two doubles about 15 min apart. didn't see the rest of the birds. so downed all birds that showed up! but what bothers me is that all these birds are still there just not on my field. but.... can't hunt the other ones.. so thats a disappointment. but I've been scouting and should have another hunt read to go on the weekend!
where abouts do you hunt? i hunt southern quebec and some parts of ontario
as for my gear! haha ya def not a bad setup
what gear are you using?
As posted in another thread, opening day for Canada's saw me bag 4 birds, with only 1 bird downed 2 days later. The birds were hunted over water with an 11 decoy spread (8 floaters, 3 feeders). Birds were called in to within 20 yards and a total of 6 shots were required to bag all 4 birds. One bird reminded me what "a wild goose chase" really means as it attempted a quick swim into unpassable swamp waters and required an additional 2 shots to end the retrieve. And as usual, Murphy's law also reminded me that regardless of how well tuned an outboard engine is, the only time it will ever stall out and flood is when a crippled bird is trying to make a quick getaway. Good times!
As for gear, Im shooting Federal and Winchester shells in various shot sizes. But the ones used on this hunt were Winchester 3 1/2" BB's and Federal 3 1/2" BBB's. The gun being used is a Mossberg 935 and the decoys are Redhead floaters and Higeon Feeders.
had extra clothes to change into, so wasn't too bad. My dog was super pissed at me for leaving him at home, he howled for 20 min after I left him behind. He can do the swim from now on.
