Trips

Who has anything planned for this season? Myself we will be going to Lake St Clair this year for a first time layout shoot up there and then a few trips to Sandusky Ohio for a couple of outings up there. Other than that I will be sticking close to home this year but I am trying to get back to Sask. for 2018........................ :thumbsup:

Mostly just ten minutes down the road to camp, another ten minutes down the road to the boat house and then (you guessed it) ten minutes down the run to my marsh blind.

Tentatively planning a trip to the Finger Lakes area of New York for a Canada goose trip
Other than that all local

Heading to Saginaw Bay in early November for Old Squaw.

Thinking about working in another trip. Probably going to put in for some public land draws to mix things up a bit. One spot I'm going to put in I've heard gets some cacklers and holds some specks, both bucket list birds for me. Maybe I'll get very lucky.

That Finger Lakes area is really nice. Never hunted there but plenty of things to do and nice places to eat and enjoy the local sights.......

Hunted there something like 18 years running before a major medical emergency took me out for a few years. Never seen so many Canada's in the air overhead anywhere else.

The pond at Lowes usually has a few birds. Menards has them too. Shop-n-pop.
Duck tape and garbage bags... :duck:

Might hit the white river this year.
