Below is my log for the season...
Hunted a lot less days this season. Normally I get in 35 to 40 days a season, this season 25 days. Took a 2 week vacation this summary, 20 year wedding anniversary, that ate into my first split hunting week days I could take off, then a hot project at work in December limited days I could take off in January, normally I take a lot of time off in January. Last week of season I was able to take off, but other than that, no other days I was able to take off in January, really pissed me off, I wanted to take time off for the unofficial THF coast hunt but could not get off.
Normally I pile up the gaddies, 100 or so was normal in years past, but that was with my private lease I had, but let that lease go, all public this season. I also used to hunt Saturday and Sundays on weekends, this season I normally skipped Saturday morning hunt, and scouted Saturday afternoon, camped and hunted Sunday morning, I love the scout hunt combo. All in all, I had a great time this season, as I do every season, never had what I would call a disappointing season. Every season is unique and special in its own way, no season is ever the same. I do not need to kill birds to have a good time, it's less about the killing, and more about the adventure for me. I will admit though the mallards got the best of me this year, when I thought I had them I didn't. And the one day I shot 5 greenheads, it was the day after my dog died, was not sure I even wanted to hunt, got to the ramp late, someone was in my plan A spot, plan B had too much water, plan C I took flyer on and best hunt of the season.
Can't wait for next season.
