Deer and Duck

This week has been busy in the woods and on the water… the rut has been in for a bit and the ducks are starting to show!!  We were fortunate to have a long time friend with us this week… Thank you so much Dan!  Once again you’ll be the favorite neighbor back home at cookout time!!  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family… you have all been through so much – we are so thankful to know Jake is on the road to recovery!  See you soon 🙂

In the timber…

Sorry about the report delay… This time of the year we spend alot of time running around between the beach, the woods, swamp, timber, open water locations… and the list goes on!!   Jimmy… congratulations on a fine hunt!! Crazy action in the timber requires great shooting – fantastic job!!  Jim and Jamie… always a blast!! (I can’t believe I missed the steak dinner… again!!)  Thank you so much..See you guys soon!! 

Continued Prep…

As Duck Season draws closer… the repair work from Irene is finally winding down… Trees to clear out of the swamps and blinds to be rebuilt – all in a day’s work!  Saturday is the big day and we are all looking forward to a great season!  Tons of ducks around already and the winds are turning out of the North… a true sign of things to come!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Changing gears…

Fishing reports are usually a little slim from the Fistful boat this time of year as we switch gears for the upcoming Duck Season (opens November 12!!).  We are still running trips both nearshore and offshore as we prepare for the Ducks… Fall is an awesome time to go!!  As for the waterfowl… we are watching the migration and there are great reports from up north pertaining to this year’s hatch… the ducks are on the move!!  We have a some scattered openings left with Karl plus several days available to put you with partnering guides… flooded timber, marsh, open water, you name it – it’s a blast!!

Pretty Work Jimmy!

Reports have been slim the last week due to a last minute trip to kick off the up-coming duck season… what a blast!! I’ll post pictures from the trip as soon as I get them loaded… hopefully the pictures will relieve everybody as much as it did us to see the number of ducks in their first leg of the migration – unbelievable action in an absolutely great  location with good friends and fellow hunters at the X!!! (ha!)  Happy to see we had a great hatch of ducks this year and very thankful for all the good lord has given us..The outdoors in any venture is something to be respected, valued, and appreciated. Don’t forget that the most important thing is experiencing what is right in front of you and we like it when they are right in front of you…The truest form..

 

We did make it back just in time for Karl to get out with Jim and Jimmy for a little short season timber action this morning… we are always so thankful to get to spend time with good friends… no matter where we are!  Jimmy marched through the swamp like a pro with Dad tracking close behind and worked hard to bag this beautiful pair of Wood Ducks… the drake was in full plumage – what a gorgeous sight to see!  Nice work!!!  Awesome way to kick off the 2011/2012 season kiddo… Congratulations!!!!!
