October 27, 2006 at 3:19 pm #23376Wouldn’t have minded a little cooler but not bad. Especially when considering last years opener which was hot.

October 28, 2006 at 11:25 pm #23427If you hunt Lamberton make sure you stop by my Grandpa’s land that he donated to the DNR. It is under the name of Carl Pederson. There is a nice pond there that holds some honkers. I have not been there since he passed away but he used to strip it nice for bird hunters.
Let me know if you hunt this I would like to know how it looks. It should have some standing corn that might be picked by now. The building site next to the property used to be ours to but sold it after he passed.
Thanks in advance if you stop by.

October 29, 2006 at 1:47 am #23428Is it just me or do the birds seem to run alot more on windy days? We had trouble pinning down birds today, they seemed to be flushing wild on us. It seems like whenever it is windy they do that. I dont’t know maybe its just me but the dog and I had alot of trouble today with running birds. But all together it was a good time had alot of fun and can’t wait until tomorrow.

October 29, 2006 at 5:16 am #23434We also had a few wild birds but also some tight sitters that we may not have gotten up without the dogs. We’ll see what tomarrow brings.
