Just got off the phone with the LO at the blind. We will share this year, then he'll sign a lease with us for exclusive rights next year. I feel like I just got a BJ from a hooker. Good, but dirty.

Hahha that's awesome! Congrats! With how things are now it's sometimes got to be dirty
My buddy makes big $, I do well and my other buddy has more expendable income than either of us as he has a union job, no wife or kids. We're cool with paying to play. What's $350 a man for a great spot?

I have had great hunts in plowed fields, it's just everything about them suck. Hard to hid in and mud fuggn everyplace, then add some more mud on top of that mud.
No. But it will happen some day. If I wanted to lease a spot where we shot limits around here, I could search from now until the cows came home and not find one that wasn't already taken. Excluding the river of course. This area sucks for quality duck hunting, but is real good for geese.
I'm not leasing because it's such a great spot. I'm leasing because this was our first spot and for 3 seasons, our only viable spot. The blind was built with a lot of hard work and it is comfortable. We love the view and we've created some memories there. I really enjoy being there. And I'm leasing to prove a point. Regardless of what waterfowl "etiquette" may stipulate, I'm still pissed they didn't make an attempt to contact us. After talking to the LO tonight, that remains true. He told them not to mess us up and that we had been there for a while. They fucked up IMO when they stepped on the wrong set of toes. If this is an every man for himself game, get out the checkbook boys. I'll either have a spot and kick them off or they can write a bigger check. Either way, I'm cool with the outcome. But just sharing with some guys who want to barge right in, I'll pass.

We won't get screwed today. My buddy was at the blind at 5:15 this morning. There are birds on the water already. Hoping for a good hunt!

Very nice! Congrats!
My buddy stopped by the blind yesterday to scout and there were 100 geese on the water when he got there. He managed to kill two, so that left plenty for this morning. There were at least 60 when we showed up today. We slipped in the blind at 6:45 and waited them out. At 7:14 were heard honks to our right and the birds to our left started to get anxious. At 7:16 they were in a single file line in front of the blind. I had my phone on waiting for it to turn 7:17 and signal legal light was upon us. At the stroke of 7:17 the countdown started. 3-2-1... BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! And then again and again! When the feathers settled, 6 geese lay belly up in the hole. We sat until 11:30 and only had one group of ducks look our way. With sunny skies and no wind, we knew it would be a hard hunt, so we were happy as hell with our haul of goose meat!
