    Salton Sea morning Hunt

    I remember 15 to 20 years ago spoonies and teal were thick when it was sea fed, now days you never know what you will find, I was excited to see the divers in there Saturday, saw roughly 50 redheads that wouldn't cooperate and the teal were non existent, a few snows came over at 50+ yards, just...

    My motor is a predator 212cc with a mud skipper long shaft kit. it does pretty ok with 2 guys in the boat. pretty much an over sized lawn mower with a 7" prop, equal to a 7HP. you can see the motor in the back ground of my selfie.

    Salton Sea morning Hunt

    here's the area by red hill. a boat is a must. mud is too deep to retrieve a downed bird and in my opinion not to dog friendly. I do see guys there with dogs I just prefer not to let mine go in it.

    Feral pigeons illegal to shoot or capture.......here we go again

    Thanks Karen, i'm one of those hunters that play by the rules, 10 years ago owners of feed lots welcomed us during the off season to shoot those pesky poopin birds, man they are good eating, I would love to be able to have a pile of them back on my dinner table. Keep up the good work.
