waterfowler_gal Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 It was pheasant opener in Minnesota and I went out to the southern western area of the state. I was sad that goose was closed in this area until the 20th but I saw probably about a total of 100,000 geese and I kid you not. Tons of Lesser's and Giants... It was music to my ears! The Migration has really begun! Later that morning pheasnt opener started at 9am.. we walked around the entire slough and kicked up tons of birds (lots of young birds so that means it was a good hatch this spring) However my roommate shot one over the water and it landed in the slough... I believe in no matter what in getting/retrieving all game birds... So I ran and got my waders (we didn't hunt with any labs until later Saturday) and went out there... besides running into a branch the mucky water that stabbed through my waders and into my leg (darn neo's!) and gave me a big hole... I started to walk back up out of the water and my entire waders from my chest to my boots were covered in tiny little creatures-FAIRY SHRIMP! I scooped them all up in my hands and put them back in the water... It is nice to see that type of food source back home in our main slough we hunt there is none... So it made my day! If there is shrimp they will come! Here are a few pics from the weekend. [image][/image] [image][/image] [image][/image] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palssonater Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: Life is Good Awesome pictures. That sunrise one is killer. I love the way it is both coming over the horizon and sorta around the point/corner. Looks like Fun. I totally know how a good day of waterfowling feels. Even if you do get a bit of wet leg!
