I had not hunted since Jan 2018 but a couple of friends hosted my son and I (we are both Vets) out for the youth, active duty mil or Vets hunt yesterday. Was a great day. In the last hunt for me in 2018 I had two Cans in my bag. First two birds for me yesterday were 2 Cans...not a double. We both took our birds which included Cans, Redhead, Mallard, greater Scaup, Lesser Scaup and Widgeons.
It was a great hunt with friends and my son. Hope my spark stays lit until fall so I go after them again after my 2568 day vacation from waterfowling.....but who was counting.

Yesterday will probably be the last day of the season for me. I went to my favorite place, not necessarily the most productive area as of late, but the marsh is definitely my happy place. It was a beautiful day, high 20's to low 30's, light winds mostly cloudy skies. The geese were honking on the edges of the marsh, so I went lights out and navigated by the dim moonlight. I'm rather familiar with the area, so not a big deal. I ended up setting up about 100 yards from the spot I was thinking about, but really was all the same.
There was no waiting for the action to begin. Three minutes after LST, I had a short conversation with a lone goose, he put his landing gear down and I held out until he was a nice shot at 20 or less yard. After one shot, he stayed with me on the rapidly forming ice.
I missed on a passing trio at about 40 yards, but one goose is ok with me.
Now the long wait until the September early goose season. I have a few duck hunting related projects that I will begin as soon as I roll the duck boat out of "my side" of the garage and regain my work area. My first project is to weld up new and improved trailer light post/boat guide.
