Mike and Tony will be heading over to Racine, WI on Friday morning to man a Run-N-Gun booth at the Sportsman's Fair. We will be in the booth from 12pm - 8pm on Friday, 9am - 8pm on Saturday, 9am - 5pm on Sunday. It will definitely be a long weekend. If you have nothing to do, come on over to the show and be sure to stop by and talk for a bit.
Trevor will staying in Rochester this weekend so he can take some clients out hunting. Once I return from WI, I hope to post an update on how they did and even post some pictures.
Until next time...
Shoot straight and be safe.

Hunting Report 09-05-09
We had a great start to the 2009 Fall Canada Goose season.
Four of us went out on opening morning without any real expectations of seeing many birds, let alone having a good shoot. Since we didn't have any clients booked for opening weekend, we hadn't done any scouting whatsoever. We figured we would just go to a local field that we've hunted for years, and use the hunt as an opportunity to do some scouting because that field has great visibility.
Well, we were more than surprised by the number of birds we saw moving around the area. From about 7:00am until we picked up at 9:15
am, we never went more than 15 minutes without seeing birds and actually getting most of them to work our decoys. We were able to work several flocks within 30 yards, but most of the flocks would flare some because we were sitting in lawn chairs. I know some of you are thinking that we're just a bunch of schmucks to be sitting in chairs, but several times in the past few years, we have done just the same during the early season and get birds to land. Also, I do have to admit that we went out this morning with the intentions of "not trying to hard." We wanted to be out there just to be out hunting again. We can get serious in a day or two. We didn't care if we got our limit or not, we were just trying to have fun....and WE DID!!!!
After all was said and done, we had shot 11 birds and got 3 leg bands. Not to shabby for going out without scouting, not using layout blinds and sitting in lawn chairs, and just trying to have a little fun.
We look forward to hunting with you this coming season.
