dogdoc Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? I had a decent season--not as many greenheads this year but had more gadwalls to make up for it. Shot my first bluebill so that was fun. It was also a special year as this was my first season with my new dog--Belle. Few pics of the seaosn: Belle's first hunt: good huntin' todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WhiskeyandMe Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? Best Season I have had in 20 Years! J.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CBU93 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? Worst season in memory...well, this year and last year... No water, dry as a popcorn fart...tough to hunt waterfowl with no water... Locally, the places that pumped or held water had a pretty good year. But individually, I would have to say it sucked.

WABS Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? Not good here in VA/MD. It was just too warm for the geese to want to do much feeding. I think I was in on 10 geese total over the course of four hunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? It was the best season we've had in the last 3-4 years. I shot mallards, teal, gads, canvasbacks, widgeons, and a few others that I've probably forgotten about. Here's a few pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teamgoose4 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? my season sucked. the cold weather in mid december pushed all the ducks down and we had no water- anywhere. i mean we were hunting in mud puddles for the first 3/4 of the season. but im glad some of the other southern states had good seasons this year i just wish it wasn't at my expense. anyway itll just make me a little crazier for opening day next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palssonater Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? Good year for sure.

waterfowler_gal Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? I can never say I have had a bad season... you make it what it is... I harvested a lot of geese and mallards.... some divers, teal birds, woodies,... I think I had a great season... because I hunted all over the place with so many new great people... I made some great friendships for life and lots of fun memories...I did the most diverse hunting ever, from mainly field hunting, large body water, river, standing in an over flooded cornfield, small marshes/sloughs.... it was great even though there were days the birds didn't cooperate and we didn't see much... but the days when the birds were on top of us coming in hot and committed... it was well worth it.... Hope everyone has a great 2006 season.... Remember it's not about killing as much as you can it's about the memories and good times you hold close to your heart... I am off to go snow goose hunting this weekend... I am pumped!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfowler_gal Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? BTW- Doc Doc--Belle is looking great! I bet she was happy to get out there and be by your side Nothing is better than a hunting companion like a lab... they never are too busy to go...

dogdoc Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? Thanks Double Cluck. I'm having a great time with the dog. My first retriever. I've trained a few pointers in the past but this has been a totally different experience training a lab. It's all about obedience. I'm planning on running her in a few HRC tests this spring and summer and might get lucky and get her HRC title. I'll run her in started first just to get the feel of it. I go to a trainer once a week who helps me out but I'm trying to do all the training myself. I didn't have any idea what I was getting into--I originally just wanted a dog to go get my ducks but she's done so well I think I want to get a title on her. take care todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? i would have to say this season was an average one did alot of hunting in so illinois and did good down there some days, back up home it was not as good season, but average, and only shot 15 geese this year compared to last years 60 because of the early season closing down on dec 28 that sucked, we normally bang our geese after the duck season closes, not this year though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? It was an ok season could've been alot worst. It was so slow this year I went deer hunting for the first time. Something I said I would never do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covehnter Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: good or bad season????????? Best season we've seen in several years. Added a layout to the arsenal and really pounded the divers on a few occasions. The cans showed up in full force and shooting trophy ducks on each trip is a rare occurance that is greatly appreciated. Finished well into the triple digits this year and had tons of fun doing it! Not all bad to be stuck in the "Lost Flyway"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
