i know 10+ guys around their, and they pay up to and over 200+ bucks to get farmers to call them when the birds are in their feilds!!!
and let no one else hunt them!!!
they start scouting early aug. and go out every wed.thurs.friday and hunt sat. and sunday. and do it all over again.
they have a group of guiding guy,s that go from collingwood south to caledon, locking up any and every spot they can, and parents and clints and buddies have DEEP pockets to pay the poor poor farmers to have exclusive rights to hunt their.
sad news for us part timers/weekend warriors!!! only means i have to drive 3-4-5 hrs north to get a shot at anything!!!!and b not rainned on by pellets.
but yet this year, things have been slow!!!!!
but they shoot anything crossing the great lakes, before they even have a chnce to get down to us, so their totally gun shy.
and over hunting, is making the birds fly diff. fly ways south!!!
ottawa is doing amazing this year and so is michigan, but southern ontario is really bad this year, hint why i'm not duck hunting this year, and bought a blk lab. to giver next year or in these spots!!!
