From the mind of the egg
just a few notes from my skillet to yours

1.pack a trash bag with you for your trash
this is simple and makes it a whole lot cleaner for the next group and your group next time.
2.Heeb pit: I hunted the heeb pit this past
weekend with Joel and the Johnstons. I had
low expectations but was surprised by the
birds that we saw.
3.Rain is the soup of choice this weekend but
lets still give it a whirl.
4.Andy Garrison and myself among others are
going to Josies on Sat. night. So save up a
buck or two 'cause the food is good.
Maybe Grover will sing at the kareoke night more »

Isn't the season closed from 1/8/07 to 1/12/07 for another split? If so the schedule does not reflect this (there should be 0's across those days as there were with the earlier split so the schedule doesn't progress). Sorry I haven't benn at Three rivers much this year. I have hunted almost every weekend from many invites around the area. By far Three Rivers, even without Stovall's postings, has done better than anywhere else I've been. I'll be over to hunt Sat. and maybe Sun. Smack 'em in the lips. Double T

I want North Roberts Sunday!!!

I bow down to you Mike Johns for finally breaking the 1 barrior at South House and boosting the numbers to THREE!!! heehee, that tickled me...you are the MAN!

On a more serious note, would you have killed more had you been in the house pit rather than South House? I just can't imagine a good reason why we have the two pits so close to the other. When I hunted the house pit the other day, by far between the two pits House was better, but I did lose a few birds to the decoy spread in S House. I can't help but wonder if that spread wasn't there if the House pit wouldn't be a little better? What do you think? Anyone else have an opinion? more »

...as of last thursday. Tuesday I discovered North Bridge pit flooded and many of the dekes floated off after the two inch rain. Tuesday I pumped the pit out. Thursday I rebrushed the gates with fast grass and collected the several dozen dekes that had collected north of the pit at the levee's edge.

As of last thursday there were still quite a number of dekes (several dozen) south of the pit spread out along the levee that need to be collected by anyone who's feeling industrious. The pit also needs some long poles to keep the gates propped up right.

(*note to selfs for next year*...longer than a 12 inch line per deke would be prudent). more »

It only took one year-- but I finally spent the night at TR. After a gusty shoot with Bradley and Mike J. and an invitation for a dinner of jambalaya, who could leave. Not to mention HZ's invitation to rack in his bunk-thanks. Its really not so bad once you get all the mice and rats names down and they quit crawling on you.

I regret not being able to join the soaked hunters of the morning, I was looking forward to revisiting my younger days with a good wet hunt, but the rain stopped in time for our cl
oudy-breezy shoot.

Oh and I give Andy B the best dog godfather of the year award for his time with Dacoda. That dog has a second dad whether he knows it or not. more »
