It was a long season

[ilovesprig]

Started Sept. 8th in southern Alberta and ended yesterday, Jan. 27th (November was pretty much all D-16)....Weather this year in Alberta & Montana was cold, rainy, snowy and windy much of the time....Montana was the best I have seen it....Henshaw had it's moments, but the big rains and freezing temps put the widgeon in different areas....Real slow at the end.....Down at the IV (Wister), it was pretty much blue bird every shoot day ....Lots of rain in the IV made it tough late, but this was the best January I can remember....The SS Duck Club rarely disappoints and didn't this year either.....A few pix from the season

Now, it's time for turkey prep...…..

Killer pics & those were some great write ups when you were on your hunting trips Steve. I look forward to getting out in the field next season and trying my hand at some waterfowl hunting. Till then..turkeys on the brain!

Richard,

Darn good overall....Lots of sprig, dumb mallards helped early in the season, good numbers of widgeon at Henshaw, gadwalls were again a staple in the IV, green wing showed up late, more spoonies than last year, and blue wings are stating to make a presence in SoCal.

Some great successes Steve! Yeah it was a long season. Time to remove the hunting gear from the back of my SUV and replace it with spring bass fishing tackle. A few lobster trips on the calendar too.
