...Someone putting one of my calls to good use. Kevin Puls sent me this picture of the inlaid goose-call his wife bought him last year, with a nice Ohio 3-bird limit on Canadas.

Good to see that despite the screwy weather, folks in Northern Ohio are getting some shooting.

Raining to beat the band down here and a week of rain in the forecast. The River will be on the rise for sure!

That is a pretty sight! Way to Kevin. Beautiful workmanship on that call, MLBob. I'm thinking that lanyard had to weigh about 8 pounds with all those wonderful bands on it.

Awesome Bob! Our rivers are so high and the current is so strong, we had to stop hunting. Strange year... But, we did get to hunt our entire season and thank God for that!

Thanks for posting the picture Bob.

It was a great day. I have not field hunted much in my career and never this successfully. The call is working great. While I cannot claim full credit on calling them in, they did not flare and head away when I called, and that is a big change for me!

One thing we don't seem to have a shortage of right now is geese. But as they tend to do, they are mostly hanging out where they cannot be hunted.

Rain the next five days here. But I have gritted my teeth and resolved myself to load up my ducker and go exploring...

The mild weather kept our resident giant Canada populations around through the duration of the season. They became pretty hard to fool, but augmented a migration that slowed to a trickle by the third week. The final day of the season I found myself staring at twenty feet of skim ice that blew-in and closed all of the three ramps I use to get on Lake Michigan. As the sun broke the horizon behind me, I watched easily a couple thousand geese strung out above the trees on the opposite shore, working out to cornfields to the west and northwest from their roost sites. Still worth the price of admission, even if I couldn't get on the water. Over the course of the morning, I ran into one otherwaterfowl hunter...I sure do appreciate deer season!
