8 days( or less) and I am on vacation.

Yes, I know... But I can't wait... Maybe I could find a grouse or a bunny...

Too Much going on this weekend for me to get out. The Honey Do List - Before I get to focus on hunting is long. Have to drag the big boat to Winter heated storage on Sat, but will be heading to "camp spot" on Saturday afternoon to mow down site and prep area.

Sounds like we are on opposite schedules this weekend. I probably will be on my way back when you head up. Hopefully I can free up some more time in the next few weekends...

Will you be out for the 28th?

I would love to see how this duck hunting works. I bought some #2 waterfowl shot on Saturday but I'm still trying to figure out how to free up the time. What block of time would I need exactly?

Ok. Morning hunts are:
On the water before sun rise.
( legal shooting time starts 1/2 hour
(before sun rise)
Off the water by 9 or 10.

Evening hunt is on the water in late afternoon.

Off water after dark( legal shooting ends 1/2 hour after sunset.)

If you want to come out and stay the night you'll just need a sleeping bag or some blankets and a mattress or pad to sleep on. There are tents to use.

Food and water etc.

You can come out for just a morning or evening hunt or hang out all weekend. What ever you can manage.

Do you work weekends?

1/2 an hour before sunrise, that might affect my beauty sleep. I won't look my best if there is some single hot woman wandering around the forest.

I don't work weekends. Domestic duties are my issue. Are you guys camping out both Friday and Saturday? Or do you guys just show up real early?
