    Actually getting out because it's too wet for harvest, more birds harvested and in the area and have never had birds decoy so well on every hunt.

    If there is an Academy nearby I would go check out what they have. I got a pair of 5mm neoprenes for $100 that have lasted me through 4 seasons and are still in great shape

    Went out and did a little more work on the blind today. A few more hours on it and it should be done.

    More birds working into the field we shot 17 in on early goose opener again. Only problem now is that it's black as black can be and I don't have the time to dig layouts in now. Might try to set up along the fence line tomorrow morning before work even though I rarely have success doing that.

    I need to invest in a few of these.

    Beavertail Blanket 3D Concealment Blanket


    Fog was so heavy this morning I couldn't see 5 feet in front of me so I slept in. Normally have pretty good luck in fog but didn't have the time to wait for them to fly since it's usually later when they do.

    Had a good morning. 5 of use limited out for a total of 25 birds. Probably had 600 birds come in this morning.
