    Mix shells all around your blinds and the full bodies right in front of you in the center of the kill hole.

    Yeah I'm going to go drive some tonight and try and get a idea of where they are at. I have a big selection of heads to put on the shells so I can mix it up there and I'll have to check on the full bodies. It's a mixture. I think it's a semi active, sentry x2 ,semi feeder, semi resting. (Big guess right now until I pull them out lol )

    Well my morning Scout is going a lot better than last night did. I found a field the geese are dropping into. I've seen at least six or seven flocks. Easily over 100 birds have gone into this disced corn field. I have the land owner name thanks to my GPS and on x maps chip. So I'll come back later and try to get permission.

    Ordered a marsh seat that will get some use the first time Friday. It's from Hawk. It looks like the best one I've seen. Has was looks to be a sturdy base and nice seat.

    Hopefully it is. I haven't found one that will hold up more than a few hunts.

    It's going to get put to the test right out of the box. At least 4 hunts right away. So I'll update after that.

    Got a couple White Rock pool 7 floaters to try out. These are pretty sweet.

    I made it. Going to unpack everything then we will get the boat ready for the morning. Can't wait for the first hunt of the year.

    All setup for the first hunt. We are in a flooded corn field with a nice opening. Light rain with a decent wind blowing. Should be a good morning.
