Hey All!
Hunted the unit with a friend this past Saturday. We came down on the Friday and got in line at 4:30 for the Saturday lineup. We were spot 11 in the lineup. Not that I am complaining, just curious, however it was to my understanding you had to stay with your vehicle? about half the cars in the lineup did not have anyone in them. At 3:00-3:30 several people came running for what I assume were the trailers to jump in their vehicles.
Anyways, we got walk out 3. Man that is a long walk in the dark! lol. Lots of birds were flying but seemed to be always out of range. In the distance closer to the actual point, in the sancuary, you could see thousands landing. Quite a few shots heard in the distance. Marsh went absoulutely quiet around 12:00 decided to call it a day. Was still good to be out even though we were skunked. I imagine if the winds were different, Enjoyed the hunt, just not the walk out there! When we came back to check in, we saw several hunters got skunked, so don't feel so bad. The hunters before us in the check in had their limit, and 2 geese as well. Good for them!
Too bad my boats are stored up north.
Want to make it out a few more times this year. Maybe it is better for reservation, or to come out during the week.
