Dec 3, Boundary Bay

[NitwiT]

I'm gonna go sit in boundary bay and play with my decoys and calls, I will be around 64th, to the east of it. Not sure where exactly, cuz I fiddle with my spread a bit. Anyone headed out that way is welcome to come say hi!

Mark

ps. yeah, it's supposed to be Dec 4, not third..

[rburm]

what time are you heading out? need a tag along?

[NitwiT]

Like the post says, any one coming over to say hi is more than welcome, I do not gaurantee anything when I go out, my calling blows, I mostly spend my day tweaking stuff, last time out, I decoyed one bird in. I just go out and enjoy the day!

so how was your trip.?

[NitwiT]

wellllllllll.......... ended up having quite a few opportunities, rburm joined me , or rather, I joined him since he got there first, and we set up togethor. Had a nice chat, and we both missed an easy pair of mallard drakes rather early. He had to leave at 9:30, so I figured I should stay till I could come out with something. However, I seemed to be shooting slugs today, not even a wing hit/clip. Rather embarrassing. I had some success calling to a mallard hen that was lonely, but for the most part, when I call, ducks seem to accelerate in the opposite direction.

All in all, wonderful day, super warm, and can't wait to get out again. Maybe meet someone else :D

i hunt in the canoe pass and boundary bay area and what i have experienced is that birds seem to come in low and in good numbers is when there is rainy/windy weather or high tide, never had much success on warm/sunny days or a day after the rain.

Roger that on the high tide and lousy weather, Kastles and I used to hunt Brunswick Pt a lot, always had a lot of ducks to shoot at. I'm trying to scrounge up a boat decent enough to get me across Canoe pass, atm all I have is a 8' inflatable dinghy called a Fish Hunter :S
