I hunt around prior lake and there are still alot of geese around here. our group has been shooting alot of birds the past week, but they are getting hard to decoy in. We have been setting six to eight dozen big foots out and that has seemed to bring them in better.

Sawe around 4-5 hundred on a river system today. If you find open water you more than likely will find the geese, they have been migrateing like crazy the last few days. I also witnessed bunches of plump mallards. To bad duck seson closed a week to early! frown.gif

the fields my buddy secured are holding birds and there are plenty of others flying about...

banged out two today but should have done more damage to that group of 6...

Hoping for success tomorrow afternoon...will have about 200 dekes out with 5 or 6 guys calling/flagging/shooting.

Good luck.

We got 8 over the weekend near a open river system. Let me tell you we saw hundreds of birds and we should of had more for our group. There were birds migrateing steady. It was a fun weekend with good friendship and a few bonus birds. The weather was a little cold we had alot of frozen guns,hands and crushed egos (with close shots being missed) grin.gif but as always this is what makes late season hunting interesting and challenging!

Saw tons of birds today on the Miss...the problem for me is, the spot I hunt, from where you hide on shore and the water line is is now quite a distance, makes for some long shots. Gonna have to find a different spot or find some rock camo.

i live by rochester and to say we have a few geese would be an understatement. like 20,000 would be about right. get out and get them while they are here and there is still season left because January is right around the corner.

I was coming back from Owatonna today and in the Fairbault area there were hundreds of geese coming out of town. There are some fields that still have corn stubble so I am thinking that I may need to go knock on some doors in that area. Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
