Got out this weekend for my second hunt on snows in central sask. Had a hard time finding birds last night but was able to find one field holding a lot of birds, got permission to hunt it and called my buddy to tell him the game plan. This morning the snows were coming from everywhere. We shot 42 by 7:30 when we called it quits. To make an aswesome morning even better I was able to shoot my first banded bird ( leg band). The best part is that this is only the begining of the migration many more birds to come. Sorry forgot the camera at home, I would have loved to shown you guys the memories I took from this morning.

That sounds like an awesome hunt. I hope I can get revenge on the snows when they come down for what they did to us last spring. we have a new game plan for them

Good to hear, what was the juvy percentage?

 

[fowlmouth]

i would say that about 80% were juvy.

80% of what you killed were Juvy or 80% of what you saw flying were Juvy? I'm guessing 80% of what you killed. If it was 80% flying it must have been one hell of a hatch.

 

[kaiserduckhelm]

i would say that about 80% were juvy.

Good to hear! Thanks for the report, your helping these next 3 weeks seem even longer. :x

 

[fowlmouth]

yes about 80% that we killed were juvy.

Thanks for the report. Can't wait to get up there. 17 days and counting. What percentage of juvies are you seeing in the flocks?

 

[fowlmouth]

it is really tough to say a percentage and I do not want to be the guy that puts a value on the number of juvies that gets guys fired up. What I will say is that from what I seen last weekend there seemed to be a good number of juvies in the air. Take it for what it is worth, cause it is going to be what it is going to be.
