Although there might be a few oppurtunities left for waterfowl on the River the season is, for the most part, all but said and done. How would you rank your 2002 season?
I had a pretty good season. This year's early goose was excellent, and we really hammered the honkers. The resident's only first week was also a big plus. Duck numbers were good for the first part of the season. The negatives for the 2002 season; the amount of posted land was at the highest it's been. Competition was also higher than it's ever been. There were a few times this year where I put on hundreds of miles scouting, finding several prime fields, but after talking to their owners wasn't allowed hunting on any of them. The other downside to this season was the early freeze up.
How will 2002 go down in the memory books for you?
