Well the season is all wrapped up now. Went out this morning for one more quick shoot. Got lucky. Wind played right and the few birds around wanted in my area. Had a nice little shoot, scotch doubled, shot my Pin, all things that are good. Shot a stud Pin last Sat. as well.

This was the slowest season ever for me. The birds just never showed in my area, more days of skunk for me this year then the past couple years combined.
Hunted solo every hunt this year. It’s a lot more work. Most of my old hunting buddies are now flakey, having marriage issues or just on a downward spiral in life. All shit I would rather not be around at this point in my life.
One of the first years in a long time I didn’t shoot any geese. This hurt. Shooting geese is downright fun. I was spoiled for quite a few years. Private property access rights can change in the blink of an eye, losing ‘your spot’ getting stuck with a ton of gear you can use anymore just sucks sometimes. (part of the reason I’m hunting solo now)
Product spotlight –
Happy with the Flock of Flicker 2.0. Made it 2 seasons, all of them appear to still work.
Tidewe neo waders – Used them pretty hard, lasted 3 seasons. Left boot sprung a little leak last hunt, wore them leaky today. Not bad for $100 waders. 3 years is about all I get out of a pair.
Some random pictures from this year.
