Opening day
Posted: Sun Sep 26, 2010 5:57 pm
Another opening day in the memory bank- Up at 4am my son and I had to get to our buddies place for 5am. We have hunted his farm for a dozen years or so-every now and again we have a great opener- no limits but generally everyone gets shooting,including his 84 year old Dad
Still can't remember to put any bug repelant in the pack- Our group paddles out in various directions of the south branch of Rideau- very high water this year for a creek, that borders his farm south of Oxford Mills. Lots of woodies and the odd mallard showed us we should have shot more skeet and practiced a bit. But we faired out OK. Beautiful morning , no rain or high winds,back in a 10am for a feast prepared by our host-
More geese moving in everyday, so next outings should be more productive- we love to hunt he big water of the St Lawrence. I hope others got out and shot a few-its the start of a long ( according to my wife) season.We tradionally hunt the geese until the very end if we can find open water.
Right now if you can find a cut corn field- it will be a gold mine for geese
this rain lately may delay more coming off- but the geese will hang and keep returning to the fields available.
Leaves are turning, geese are in the air- life is good for us hunters
