Opening Weekend

[nobody05]

How was everyone's opening weekend? Mine was one for the record books. A big fat 0. Nothing like the other years. Not only were the birds few and far between but had absoutly no pattern. Keep on keepin on I guess for another week of scouting and hopefully get on the board next weekend.

Pretty slow over here as well. Yesterday saw a few birds but they were workin a field half mile away. Had one flock circle twice but we got busted and they buged out. Got one loner today and had one other take a look. Didnt see 1/4 of the birds we did yesterday. Funny thing is today we had the weather we beg for and dream of and almost no birds. Like you said theres always next weekend. THE 2013 HUNTING SEASON IS UPON US BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't even bother going out around Brainerd, I have seen a total of 12 birds in the air so far this year, I KNOW we had a very poor hatch the groups I saw fishing this summer were very small, the retriever grounds that we train on that normally produce large numbers 100 plus birds had single digits this year..

Slow weekend for me as well! Saw only one flock sunday morning and they stayed high. Sunday night only saw a few that gave us a quick look but didnt seem too interested. Than this morning went out with some friends and got 4 by 7:30 but then the farmer came out and said we needed to leave cause he needed to cut his fields today cause he was going out of town for a while. Thought that was a crappy reason but its his land so we didnt complain.

Of course as we were cleaning up the decoys we had 2 big flocks fly low right over our heads. But seeing the other reports, I dont feel as bad about my weekend!

Over the two mornings we hunted we shot a total of 26 birds with two bands. Pretty slow in the early morning due to precip. falling most of the time but whenever it stopped the geese started to really move.
