Another busy opening weekend here on Long Island. Kicked off the Thanksgiving Opener with my Father in the 14' TDB out on The GSB. Taking an impressive shot on the season's first Blackduck and I followed up shortly after with my own and a single brant to end the morning.

Friday / Sat I enjoyed another few days behind the lens on a Seaduck & Field Goose hunt on LI's east end. Excited to start yet another new season. Best of luck to all out there & stay safe throughout our second split starting Dec 5th.

Great shots. Love the photos of the brant. Tug of war has Keith Mueller carving written all over it.
Thanks Phil
 
Great photos Anthony, I Love the one of the brant fighting over the sea lettuce! That middle bird has the greatest look on its face!

Curious, What is the limit on brant this year?
 
Thank You All

Carl- The Limit This Year on Brant Is (2) Per Hunter an increase from last years limit of (1)
 
Anthony nice pictures. How long is your brant season if you are allowed 2? We are still at 1 per day here in jersey bu are back to a 60 day season up from the 30 day season and 1 bird that we had last year

Thanks, Our Brant season starts up November 24th-27. Starting up again December 5-Janurary 29th. For a 60 day season. Based on the migratory study last year they allow us an additional bird + extended days. I have not seen any increase or difference in amount of birds from last year / year before last up untill this year so not sure where they went to do the study.

The tug of war with the three Brant would make a great "rig" carving just not sure how to get it to selfright
 
Way to go Anthony, that is a nice survey of your gunning. I do have to tell you that it looks like you are shooting those geese on a baseball field........
 
Hey Anthony great pictures. Every time I bring my camera and pick it up Zach is yelling at me to put it down, Still not sure whether I like shooting them with the gun or the camera. Thanks again for sharing.
 
Great pics thanks for sharing. Its always interesting to see how others hunt waterfowl in different parts of the country.
