WMU 41 Round#2

[FISH-ON]

Morning fellow uplanders, like Birdbuff I was ecstatic and looking forward to Saturday as I was under the impression the conditions were prime for another excellent day of grousing compared to the previous weekend I had. Got to our spot @ 7;45 with just minimal rain on/off and some flurries on Hwy 11...we usually see the odd bird wondering around the edges of the road but not this morning which had me concerned. Long story short I had an opportunity to bag a set of 3 birds and managed just the 1 as I decided to bring the over/under and cause I dont use it enough I forgot the safety goes on automatically after each fire and you have to switch over the barrel selection , had it been my semi I would had bagged the 3. Set off another long trail and one flushed in thick/thick cover nearby that I could barely see....last bird flushed was almost at the end of the trail 20ft on a limb was I was pretty much underneath it and was caught off guard...like Birdbuff previously stated, what should have been good was the exact opposite...not sure if it was the barometric pressure/temp swing but something had them grounded in thick cover
All in all, 4-5 hours on foot, 2 guys = 2 birds
Oh well...deer season begins, always next year!

Something was definitely off this weekend, but still better than being at work. I’m hoping to give it one more try after deer gun season.
