Not around the site much anymore, but seems i'm going to have quite a chunk of time off from late Oct to Early Dec. Some hunts planned, but would really like to try and get back into waterfowl.

in the okanagan, have a dozen floater mallards, and a dozen halfshell Canadians. Anyone need an extra guy to fill a trip, or add deeks to the spread, let me know. my calling is awful, but it's getting better.

Some pointers when I started out. Buy some 1/2" conduit and build a layout blind. Any mesh fabric will work sew on it. Flat brown and grey paint to cover it and you can lay out in the middle of a corn field or marsh and have fun. I mainly went after geese but the mallards came into my goose spread. Another thing watch for layout blinds at yard sales. Ask if any hunting stuff is available.
Better half won't eat geese anymore so I quit hunting them.
Calling takes practise.

It's getting closer need to add some more decoys and scout some new spots for this season. Working with my new pup. He won't be a lot of help this season but plan to take him out and see if I can get some retrieves out of him at least.
