We ended up with 7 birds. I took home two and my dad tagged two. We just missed the wind you guys had. Most mornings were in the highs of 26 even had one morning 21 degrees. I will post pictures once I get them from the group. My new camera was not here yet. We did take one tank 25lb his first bird with a bow for many years of trying.

Congrats - you guys did well! Looking forward to the pics. It's all about timing. A guy I know ran down Friday night to the same property I took my bird from and was driving home Sat morning at 8:30am with 2 birds! He used the shotgun, but still! It was a perfectly calm morning and that usually if the difference maker.

A buddy and I were down there at the same time as S&S. We rain into tons of birds. My buddy got a jake. I hit one jake but never found it and had my pick of th eflock and missed. A great trip but the wind was brutal friday and sat.

Way to go Hoyt. Sounds liek a great hunt.

I'm still waiting on the pics. Powerstroke. You still did well if you got some chances with that wind. These birds can be very tough to take with a bow. I know I will be happy to have the shotgun in my hands come Monday for my MN season.

Congrats to your buddy S/S bow or gun it's always a blast. I could of tagged out the first day but had a buddy coming down on Monday so I went from hunting to guiding trying to help him get his first bird with a bow. Monday through Wednesday my bow stayed on the sling until he left camp. Thursday I punched my last tag. My buddy did get a shot but did not connect.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
