It's been really slow down here in GA this year, but my son and I have managed a couple good shoots, and picked up several public land birds. It will be a mess this weekend on public land, so trying to get back on a private swamp for one last shoot.
 
Very few birds seen today and no shots fired. 2 days left.

Momma went to Topeka to get something to wear for my awards banquet next saturday. My boy and I hit up pizza ranch and said he wanted to hunt. I tried breaking ice but only got a little broke as geese flew over headed out to feed. Set out dekes and just hoped a goose would do something dumb. As luck would have it a flock of snows flew over low and I crushed one with one shot. He was happy, and I am happy. In the 45 minutes he was out here there were always geese in the sky so always something to look at. Great day to have him with me.

Slow here. I am getting ready to call it a season if nothing pays a visit in the next 45 min.
 
We had a pretty good hunt Saturday. Even killed a black duck which is rare for my area Only 5 more days left in our season.

The moultrie directional feeder,spreads 30 degrees
 
I had 5 mallards work, that was it. Saw alot of ducks high but zero wind. Only other group on the entire complex set up 150 yards away and we are talking hundreds of acres of water. Thats a wrap to duck season, cleaning out my truck now.

IL gave us a 3-bird daily limit for Canada geese this year; hunting has been great the last two weeks with cold temps (the optimal range of 25-35 degrees), snow events with 1-inch accumulations, and overcast skies with some wind. Today the goose gods gave me a little extra gift; notice the right leg of the bird on the left side of the tailgate. Too bad it ends on Friday.canada goose and band.jpg
 
Very nice,I picked up wire today to build 7 mallard nest and I have 5 wood duck boxes to get put up.Anyone else do any duck habitat work
