Ghetto Faaaabulous
Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:43 amSince Jehler took the tender boat down south, My friend Jeff B and I threw together a quick blind on the 12ft john boat that he left me. She aint pretty but it worked. I bought some green snow fencing and zip tied pine, cedar and cattails/reeds to 12 ft lengths, then rolled each section up(did the same to a couple 5 ft pieces for the front and back). Once we got to the launch we zip tied the snow fence to the conduit rail and draped over the side. Launched, got set up, waited for the fog to lift and started blasting. It felt good to pull the trigger again after not shooting deer the past few days, it was one of those days we couldn't miss too. Granted we shot all buffies, but it was fun. Especially dropping three buffies from the back of the boat while he was pissing off the front 
I gotta give props to Jehler for giving me some misc loads he had. The last bird was a single 45 yards out, i thought why not see what kind of pattern it threw at that range, gave it about 5-6 ft leed and crumpled it!
All said and done we were limited, picked up and pulled out by 9am. There were several boats that ran up into the stumps and cattails, we didnt here but maybe 20 shots from them.
Like I said, ghetto, but it worked.
