Its been a good hunting season this year for me. We got 4 mule bucks and a some grouse. Filled up the freezer. The bucks ranged from a spike to a four-pointer.  The bucks were harvested in region 3 and 5. Lets the waterfowl hunting begin! Hows your hunting season been so far? Thanks

I have been having a great waterfowl season. Been getting lots of fat lards, I will post picks tommorow wen I get back from my hunt.

[Humpy]

Where do you hunt for waterfowl, glad you're having a good season so far!

[kid fisherman]

The valley, corn fields have been my friend !

[chris gadsden]

3 grouse, 1 mule a 2 point, 6 mallards and 2 Canadas.

Will add to that total tomorrow.

[kid fisherman]

Good to here you have done good Chris.

[Humpy]

Wow, nice job Chris. This is my first year waterfowl hunting. I have order a dozen canada goose decoys and a dozen duck decoys, is that enough? I'm hunting in Abbotsford. Glad to hear your having a good season.!

What a tremendous morning flight of ducks and geese I saw on the hunt this frosty morning.

Set out a few geese decoys at first light and took 3 mallards on three shots, two drakes and a hen. I then passed up on some other birds as I now waited for the geese I knew would be coming, shortly. Some mallards were dropping right into the decoys. Then the geese started coming in, wave on wave. Two flocks came right into my spread and I dropped 1 in each of the flocks that committed and missed one other bird, in the first flock.

Even thought the limit is 10 geese what I feel I could have taken if I wished I was satisfied with the 5 birds, the 2 fat geese and 3 ducks I had cleanly dropped. I then just emptied the shells from the scatter gun and just watched the numerous flocks settle into the corn to feed, chatting happily to each other. Even as I walked out to the Leaf Mobile with the heavy load of birds and decoys in the nap sack, on my back a flock just sat there as I walked by them. Many other flocks were dropping out of the morning blue sky to join the couple hundred birds now feeding on the corn cobs.

 I guess a few years ago I would have stayed to take a limit but these days a few birds for the table is all I take, leave the birds for another day or someone else.

Sure a robo duck is very effective too.

Well done Chris!
Humpy I find that small spreds work better the bigger ones. When I duck hunt I use between 4 and 12 ducks, just make sure you set up the spred properly. When I hunt I try to set up on the "x" so I can use less decoys and little calling! Best of luck!

Do you hunt on your own private land or do you hunt on public land?

Do you hunt on your own private land or do you hunt on public land?

I get permission to where I hunt.

[kid fisherman]

Privet land is what I hunt on. Looking for land is not hard just got to put your time in.

Just got back from 10 days at the end of Adams Lake (3-42/3-37).Had moose/deer draws.Very limited sign of any moose activity.One cow sighting.... that's it.Local trapper atributes lack of moose to the wolves.()

We did manage to make a stellar deer trip of it, with 9 deer total.5 does and 4 bucks.The first buck was a monster 4pt mule, followed by a smaller 4 pt mule (mine), then came a spike whitetail, followed by a monster "hybrid". This buck appeared at first glance to be a trophy whitey, but looking alittle closer it had many mule dear characteristics.(Large muley ears, BIG body, and a bit of black on the tip of the tail.)The rack was all whitetail. Buddy brought it to Ganders for a quote on getting it mounted, where it was confirmed to be a relatively rare trophy "hybrid" - in getting done now.

Chris, I have 12 ducks decoys and should I get the Mojo full size robo duck decoys or the baby one? and is one enough? I had a good day today too, 3 ducks down and we missed many.
