I will be out tomorrow . Got permission today for a field last minute since my normal fields aren’t cut yet. Been seeing a lot of birds in the cut bean fields . Should be a good morning.

I will take the stand and extension. PM sent

We got 8 woodies and 1 mallard. Great morning out. Only hunted a little over an hour because I needed to get to work but it all worked out.

I was fortunate to get my bear down at 8:01 am Monday morning and my buddy got his at 9:30 am on the same day. Everyone I talk to said the bear activity dropped off a week before the season. Natural food is the main cause in my opinion. There is still a ton of bears out there .

I have way too many knives in all shapes, sizes , and blade material but I always carry my bucklite folding knife that my father gave to me when I turned 10. My friend was even teasing me yesterday when I was having a panic attack after I gutted my bear and thought I misplaced it. He kept saying you have knives worth way more then that old buck knife why do you even carry it? I told him that my knife is priceless. It was the first piece of hunting equipment I received and It got me into hunting. You can’t put a value on that.

Got back late this afternoon from the decoy show. It was my first time there. What a great day out. Took my 4 yr old son and spent a few hours. Weather was great, good amount of vendors, and a great location. Was pleasantly surprised to see plenty of kids and youths there. My son had a blast and everyone was so nice to him. He told me he can’t wait to go duck hunting when he gets bigger. That made my day. We are already looking forward to next years show.

Going on Sunday with my wife and 4 year old boy. First time going. New to Waterfowling so figured I would go check it out. Can anyone tell me if there will be calls for sale there? Any info on what to expect would be great.

Went out yesterday with a small group and we got 5. It was very hot out and birds didn’t seem to be moving. It was just nice to be out in the field again even though it was ridiculously hot.

I’m away this week but my sister lives in Hamilton. Maybe I can send her to grab some for me if it isn’t all spoken for. thanks, Ralph

I could use some if it’s not all spoken for. Great offer.

I bought one last winter. It is my duck/goose gun. I really like it so far. Will be using it for early geese next week. It cycles everything I put in it and recoil isn’t bad even with 3.5 inch shells. When I purchased it I was leaning toward a franchi affinity 3.5 but the sx4 was highly recommended to me by guys that put a lot more time in the goose blinds then I do. My buddy also went out and purchased one after I got mine. He is impressed also. I feel like you get a lot for your money with the sx4. Cabelas always seems to run sales on it and there is always a rebate offered by Winchester it seems.

New Hampshire for bear second week in September. New York for deer during rifle season in November. Then to North Carolina in December if I draw a tundra swan tag.

I am looking to buy one of those blind chairs with the big goose decoy that flips up. I think the stopped making them a few years back but I would like to see if someone has one laying around that they would like to sell. PM me if you have or know of one. Thanks.

Just starting out and am looking to buy some used goose hunting equipment to get started next season. Went out with a friend this year and I'm hooked. I figured maybe someone has some used decoys and gear that they are not using that I can purchase so I don't have to buy all new. Let me know what you have. Please pm me.

BTT with new price $90.00
