Hunting Report - 11/29/11

The last few days were very productive days compared to the previous 2 weeks.  We had a great day on Saturday and were able to pull out a good day on Sunday.

The season is closed on Sunday for a short break.  It opens back up on Thursday, 12/8 and will run continuous through Sunday, 1/1.  This short break should help quite a bit, letting the birds in the area get a rest from the hunting pressure around the refuge.  We are looking forward to getting back out there and putting the smack down on the birds.

Until next time, shoot straight & stay safe.

Hunting Report - 11/03/11

Over the last month, we have done a lot of work and got some hunting in too.  After this coming weekend, we will have all of our fields open and ready for hunting.  It's hard to believe we can say that this early in the month.  Normally, we are waiting until mid to late November for farmers to get everything picked.

There are birds in the Rochester area, though we always prefer more.  The action has gotten better over the past month, but it is still hit or miss some days.  We've had several days with groups shooting 20 or even 30 birds, but we've also had days where groups shot 4 to 10 birds.  What we need right now is a weather change in the area with a little cooler temps. We could also use cooler weather north of us to push more birds into the area.

We went hunting this morning and saw quite a few birds total; although not that many were within striking distance for us.  When it was all said and done, we had 6 birds in hand.  Nothing great, but definitely not going to complain either.

We are looking forward to getting out a lot in the coming weeks, so check back often.

Lastly, here is a link to the latest DNR Minnesota Waterfowl Migration and Hunting Report.

Until next time.....Shoot straight and stay safe.
