Still have to do covers.

And you can never have enough brush.

How can you see out of a pit blind? I have never hunted out of one before and was just curious. All my hunting is done out of layout blinds.

looks good our field stays dry unless rain leaves a few wet spots

when we stand up ur our heads are out of the blind and u can see enough to watch them but the guy callin is the one mainly watching and he tell us where and when to shoot

This was the biggest bunch of specks I saw in Thornwell yesterday:


Know there are more around, but it's still far from "right".

Quoted for posterity (like Custer's "Where'd all the indians come from?"). But I hope you're right.

Gotta think positive

Absolutely, I'm positive I hope you're right, we'll have folks in Thornwell, too.

Come on Rick, does this look like his first rodeo?

Opening day can be great for specks if you're on the proverbial "X," but the geese are freaked by all the sudden pressure and don't tame down for a while. I tell folks they don't land until Thursday and am only half joking. Working "traffic" can be a real booger the first few days, and I find they get easier once they're accustomed to the shooting and think they know what to avoid.

Hudson, I don't know how much you follow these forums, but please know the "first rodeo" joke isn't on you. I'd mentioned on DHC that there's a Natural Law in effect that makes people who say "This ain't my first rodeo." screw up horribly shortly thereafter, and our man Jehler made the mistake of challenging that Law prior to his Louisiana trip last year. After which he found himself shooting like an elderly matron in front of witnesses anxious to report it.

It was like I was shooting blanks

Jr musta loaded those one for ya.

His hit percentage was about as good as Jr's water swatting percentage!

Wouldn't want to rule that out entirely, but the Law is the Law. Have seen it tested time and again, always with disastrous, or hilarious, result.

no harm no fowl

this is true, jr can't hit a bird in the pre-flight position to save his life

All good shots have bad days.

I work for a commercial camp with leases in Cameron, Vermilion, Acadia and Jeff Davis parishes. Our biggest "Thornwell" piece is north of Thornwell, proper, and south of Bayou Chene.
