Hi all,
Let's see if we can have reports thread with meaningful participation this year.
Please post short description of your hunt - date, location, conditions, birds moved.
Good luck everyone!
I opened on the 25th not too far from Newmarket.
I was warm and very wet, lots of standing water.
Probably moved about 10 birds, shot at 3, saw another one fly and couldn't find the dogs on point even with a GPS, it was very thick and some technical challenges with the GPS.
Just resident singles so far north of Barrie.
Haven’t targeted them specifically, but put one up this morning a little north of London while walking into the duck blind. Over night temps dropping into single digits. Should start shaking things up.
moved one bird at the same spot today, then hunted a private spot for the first time, moved 6-7 birds in tiny honey hole.
Wet ground, sunny, hot.
The local population looks pretty good, I hunted a private spot today and moved at least 14 wc in 1.5 hours.
That's the best I've done in that spot in the early season.
It's hot and hot for the dogs and very green, but we'll take it.
Found one in the back yard today. Birds are on the move think this year maybe a shortened season.
Made it out a couple of times since the 25th. Good number of bird found both times. 2 days ago find 10 in 30 minutes just running the dogs close to my house.
Just a quick after work hunt today. Moved 3 bird got one.
The birds seems to be moving around.
One pointed bird jumped may be 2-3 m in from of the dog, I thought it was injured, but then it took off, flight bird I am guessing.
Although the weather is crazy warm, including up north, but I guess some are starting to migrate.
I moved 6-7 birds around Newmarket yesterday and the same number in the local park. It's hot for the dogs and for me.
This thread is funny this year, gets the views, but no contributions.
Oh well, today was another good, if hot day in the field. Moved 10 in just over one hour around Newmarket.
I have to say, looks like the local birds did well this year, because I think they're mostly local.
The best part is coming up, I am taking the last week of October off work :)
