since I was not able to make it out to the field, I have no updates or stories for you this week. So I will pass on the story of my fathers hunt this weekend as it was told to me. Between prong horn rifle season and rifle deer season their isn't much to do so he go duck hunting to pass the time. Just east of town is Orman rec area and he stumbled onto a "honey hole". Honey hole: place of continous hunting and or fishing action. This island on the north end is litered with ducks of verios asortments from widgen to the beautiful wood duck and buffle head, and all day action. I fouund this place when I was trolling around fishing for wallie. Yesterday I probibly spent 7 hours and never a dull moment!
When I had my limet I pulled into my inpromptto boat ramp and a covy of hunns jumped up and took off up the hill. How could I resist such an opertunity? I had my lab with and we fallowd this group of hunns around this hillside and got 4 flushes out of it. you have to love limeting out on two kinds of birds in one day. This next week I'll be out scouting a river bottom, and I'll show you how to get info on deer movements without making an impact on their movement.
Good luck and good hunting.
It sounds like your dad had a very succesful duck hunt this weekend. I have always wanted to go bird hunting, but it seems like i never have time to go. Every year a friend asks me to go with him and his family, but it never works out. Hopefully I will be able to expirence this someday.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Are all Hendersons just born hunters? Sounds like you and your Dad can kill anything. I cant wait for next weeks posts.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you end up doing with all the meat you end up with? It must be nice to have a place you know you're going to be successful, though!
