At my home next weekend I cant wait to get at them honkers..

Where are you living now Joe? Ever end up moving?

Our early season has been in since Saturday. We have been getting hit hard with rain so the farmers have not had a chance to harvest a whole lot of fields. The fields that are harvested have 2-3 groups of hunters in them trying to out hunt each other. We need some dry weather so these fields can turn and spread some of the competition out.

Joe, you guys open the 1st?

Yeah were still here in Pa decided not to pull kids away from there friends.Yeah our season starts on Sept 1st. I cant wait ready to get after them..

Joe, the quickness in which you fell into full waterfowl obsession never ceases to amaze me. Well done.

Thanks man.. Yeah I took to it hard.. I have made great friendships threw it and my son and daughter are just as much a part of the obessision.

If where you hunt is anything like near me, if they pushed the resident goose opener back about two weeks, it'd be absolutely killer. But it's just a fuzz too early, since there are still crops in the field. They usually cut corn around the 15th. You can almost time it- 2 days after resident goose has closed, the combines are out in force. Makes me cry like a baby when I see the flocks of residents hitting all those fresh cut fields. And up until then, they're hanging out at the the drainage ponds in town, dammit!

Exact opposite happens for me up at our lake. I hunt the water and every morning out fishing I could kill a limit. Then about a week before it opens they start hitting the fields where I don't put the effort into hunting 1 or 2 days.

Our Early Season Opener is Oct 4th.
The local hatch was above normal and there seem to be young honkers every where.
I have some pics of the past few years but I don't want to offend anyone one so I will pass on posting them.
