Update from SE SD...

Beautiful hoarfrost this morning, 28 degrees, barely a south wind, foggy conditions…birds in cover, good conditions for dogs. Got sunny by late am…close to 50 mid afternoon. Birds bunched up, some spectacular bird congregations. Group
did well again, not too many misses, I probably had the better ones! Done shortly after lunch, good to give dogs a break…
 
Saturday, Nov 22…calm wind, a bit from the NW…high 20’s early, high 30’s at 10 am, mid 50’s midday, sunny…birds seem bunched, but they’re really not, there’s just a lot of birds…good hunt, despite sub-par scenting conditions and not great shooting by several of us plus gun issues for one of the guys. Birds piled up pretty quickly. #’s at a 12-15 year high in my area, maybe longer? I recall 2009 being really high, we’re not at those levels, but probably 13, 14, maybe 15 year high? Still shooting lots of this years roosters…great hatch…likely late May/early June…have not seen any roosters this fall that were uncolored or were tiny…no trips to
Northern Saskatchewan or Land of the lost or whatever…I do want Goose to appear on the game show that Martin Short is hosting…think Goose would absolutely kill!!!
