Smokey with his spring turkey:

They look pretty cool actually.

Does anyone play this? I did a while ago, logged in recently and had no friends or contact. 

Anyone?

Howdy folks!  This post is pretty late, as these ducks were shot around Thanksgiving.  But I'm still proud of how we did!

Here's a shot of yours truly with 10 ducks in the boat plus a band! 

And here's how we ended the day (for those of you who have been playing with me lately, that's Coontang on the left):

This is our 3 man Mallard limit.  4 Mallards per hunter, and 1 Black per hunter.  We got our LiMiT! (Notice 2nd from right got maddddd headshotted).

And:

2 days, 35 ducks, 1 band.  It was a good hunt!

I'd pay $100 for a Lunk bobblehead. 

Howdy folks!  Smokey checking in again from Vermont.  Got some more fun stuff to report!

On our way to duckhunt, we ran into some turkeys and a serious stalk commenced.  After some stealthy positioning I was able to take the leader of the flock.  This 20 lbs. Tom, with a 8 inch beard and 1 inch spurs was shot with 3-inch 4-shot, steel of course!  I was loaded for ducks but had to make do.  

and

Next day, to complete our mixed bag, we made a 2 mile arduous walk (1 on the railroad, 1 through woods and swamp) to get to our super-secret duck spot.  Shot half dozen ducks, half dozen geese.

So far, it's been a good start to my hunting week!

I'll be giving it a better effort now that I'm back from vacation and the reserve slots work.  It's still a game I'd like to only play a few times a week.  It's a good change of pace, but nothing I could commit to for too long.

Thanks Tony Romo for giving San Fran 3 picks...

Biggie or Tupac?

Hunting.

Autodraft got me Brady, Jefrry and San Fransisco?  Not too shabby.

First matchup, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning head to head. 

I love fishing, especially bass fishing, but hunting is an entirely different beast.  Give it a try and thank me later.

Howdy Folks!  Smokey checking in from Vermont Opening Goose Day.  We've been hunting Canada Geese about 4 miles from the Canadian border in Vermont's NorthEast Kingdom. 

In the past, we've used our 20' SeaArk with a blind covered with brown grass to take it into the swamps to hunt ducks.  This year, since we purchased layout boats for the swamps, the big boat is on big lake duty.  In order to make it work we decided to use ceder and fake rocks, so that if needed for diving ducks, we can just anchor the boat totally in the middle of the water.  We ended up with the best boat blind in the state:

It only took 12 hours of finding, and [poaching] ceder from around the area, transporting it, then attaching it to the blind with the rocks.  I think it turned out quite well, for any lakeshore with greens, and an island itself.  Most birds don't see anything like it.

And this is what it's all about, part of our 3 dozen fleet of full body Goose Dekes:

And:

And results you ask?  Needless to say it was a slow day [due to ridiculous 85 degree temps, and other hunters invading our spots, but we didn't get skunked].

Here's my hunting buddy, hard at work.  Btw, I met him playing counter-strike about a 8 years ago:

Happy Hunting!

P.S It was a great birdwatching day, regardless of how much we got to shoot our guns.  We saw: Bald Eagles, a Redtail Hawk, a Goshawk, Mallards, Wood Ducks, Herons, Kingfishers, a Loon, some Eastern Griebs, Bluebills, and of course, Canada Geese.

In fantasy related news, I know we use Yahoo (which I despise) but for you ESPN users, I'm meeting/seeing Matthew Berry today.  He's speaking at a very small venue, and sighning his book.  Been looking forward do it for a while now.

10 I think is the best number.
