Greeting us on the IDO hunt was NW winds 25-40 and snow! While arriving in the field and getting things ready for the hunt, Bear was out running through the decoys and scared up a single goose that was sleeping in the decoys. Right after getting settled into the pits and getting everthing ready, the first pair came right in on the deck and we whacked them! Another pair came in very soon afeter that and they met there demise! Then another 3 pack dumped right in. Before some of the other people hunting in adjacent fields could get there trucks out oif there fields, we already had 7 on the ground.
The wind did not let up at all and the snow continued. At times it was very difficult to see futher than 40-50 yards. At one point we had a flock of nearly 40 birds fight the wind and snow and came right in front of all the pits and started to land at about 15 yrads. We called the shot and when the dust settled, we ended up shooting 11 out of that flock. Then we laneded another flock of around 30 just at the edge of the decoys. We called the shot and got 5 out of them. All said and done we ended the morning at 10:00 with 26! Off to Brothers Bar & Grille for breafast!
If anyone wants a great hunt, right now is the time! We are really whacking the thunder out of them right now!
