Has too much time on their hands
Opener morning I will be there, with two canoes. Might camp the night as well on Friday. I just really cant commit fully on anything right now, as so much work and contractors scheduled on property. I do know evening are free and AM, but during day is very busy right now.
I still have not from the Steel bldg. delivery people yet, and the pad form work is moving ahead. 20 tons of gravel coming, 10 yards of topsoil, the brush hogging was completed last night and clean up begins tonight..lost 14lbs in last 3 weeks, best exercise ever, and sleeping like a baby..lol

Excellent. We'll see you out there then. I am planning for the Friday. I'd be too excited to sleep in my bed at home anyway, might as well just head out...

I should make a point about the ponds this year. I went out twice this weekend for goose - quick trips. For those that have hunted these ponds before you are used to the water levels and reed stability.
WARNING - The water is the highest I have ever seen, and I had a difficult time punching into weed beds to pull up canoe. The edges around the beds are 2ft of water and 3ft of muck (no paddle stable stability while moving forward in canoes). So lots of stability issues getting up on weed beds. For me this is not much an issue as I am very used to this method. (the two I took out had challenges)
However, if you new to this method, it can be quite daunting to do the first time. Once up on the beds, you can usually step out (once testing with paddle - safe spots to step and bear weight), It took several tries to find a safe spot to step out. Also, any place I was able to step (temporarily), started to sink right away.
For those going, I just want you to be aware and start thinking about this in the rush to get situated before first light. You dont want to start the day wet.
Lastly, these reed beds have about 8 (single foot) of boots somewhere on the bottom of pond. If your boot goes through, you never get that boot back again...
