scouting

Been doing a lot of scouting this year for waterfowl..... more so than deer but using the same tactics. Searching for good spots and what time of day the birds are using them. With only a little over a week left before season starts I have a "shooter" located LOL! lmao Anyway I've got this...

Fellows.. The day i arrived in ohio for my 5 day bowhunt back in november..I wanted to power scout a new chunk of area on the public. I never hunted that area so i decided to power scout it for a half day. After a couple hours of hiking around i found a good scrape. So..I set the cam on it...

I got some good news tonight after dinner and it looks like I'll be able to swing buying some waterfowl gear for my Christmas present from my wife! :smiley_clap: I know I need some goose dekes and I want to get a different goose call. Along with filling the needs, I need to pick up some of my...
