I can't hunt when it's 30 Celsius...... Just doesn't get me in the mood......
Not many honkers flying here yet..... And I checked the lake near my place where I hunt and almost nothing rafting in the morning.....

I had plans to be on the lake for the opener, but unfortunately a greater power had different plans for me today that saw me spend the night in a hospital bed. I did spend the past weekend scouting the lake I hunt and I have the geese patterned well enough to know that when the doctors say I can leave this sh!thole, I'm heading straight to the lake. Pericarditis my @ss...i have no time for that. Its goose season for crying out loud

Holy balls is was hot out there, I ended up laying beside my layout instead of in it. Lots more flying then I thought there would be but nothing in range. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be a different story.

I killed 2 yesterday and 2 tonight. I'm lucky to live on a farm with a huge pond close by, in the morning and in the evening they fly right over my property going to and from the pond. Killed all 4 with my trusty single shot 20 gauge with #4's! Honestly never used it before for geese but I recently sold my 12 gauge and haven't bought its replacement yet. Looking for a Remington SP-10 10 gauge or basically any camo 3 1/2" 12 gauge, preferably a Remington. (So if you know someone who has one for sale shoot me a PM).
Went out yesterday morning with the dog. Didn't toss any decoys out, didn't hear or see birds anyhow. Farm ponds are all down 2 ft or more on account of the no rain we've had this year. Corn will likely be staying on longer this year too.
I went out this morning. No action at all. I did see a lot of ducks though. So maybe they will hang around for the 24th. I did get to test a new pull over jacket. A Drake Waterfowl Equader 2 tone pullover. It is designed for the early season when it is still warm. It worked great. I am very happy with it. I will head back out tomorrow morning.
