First day of Goose hunting was pretty good, hunted a pea field the geese worked ok for having no wind, was able to "grind" out a two man limit of 16! Used the new Hayes Call "Punisher" worked well and i am sure many more honker's will fall to this call!:super_hap Wished Mathewsarcher was with me unfortuneatly he had to work sorry Kev!!!

Cool. Thanks Al.

I am somewhat setup. I have a shotgun. I have a dozen 3D Shillouttes, I have half of a layout blind. See, I am not quite ready...lol.

I will keep my eyes open.

[BIGHORN]

Half a layout blind???????? Might work for Scooter but for a man your size probably not Wook LMAO:D

I decided to build a layout blind. Got it half done and there it sits in the middle of my garage. I really should finish it, but I think I will just buy one.

One Word "Powerhunter" most online US based store's $128.00FK $149.00Camo!

Thanks Al. I will have a look. I take it that it is big enough for portly men such as ourselves.

[BIGHORN]

Plenty big enough and lowest profile blind on the market to boot which is perfect for Alberta as we are not hunting corn like the USA guys!! If you look reall close behind the dead geese you can see the "powerhunters" both pic's the cockpit's are open withthem closed they are even lower by at least 12", these are couple pic's from last year with 3 man limit's of 24 honkers!!!http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1742/065m.th.jpg (http://img269.imageshack.us/i/065m.jpg/)

That's the same blind that Kevin replaced his good one with isn't it?

[BIGHORN]

LMAO His good one??? You mean the one that after 10 use's started breaking apart??? If thats the good one you are referring to then yes he replaced that blind with a Powerhunter:D

[russ]

10 uses, frick I think it busted the 2nd time we were out last fall and I think that was it's 1 week of use.

[BIGHORN]

He still used it until it was completely useless (10 times) got frustrated with Bushnells customer service then bought the Avery LOL

[HOYTarcher]

Looks like you had a great hunt Al, can't wait to get home and bust a few birds. The snow geese are really starting to move here, none the first few days, now some big strings all day long. Wish this job was over.

Hope you have one of those new calls with my name on it, seems like your holding out!!

My Final Approach SUB last a grand total of four hunts before it broke, Avery all the way...

Was going to give you a call but even my cell phone doesn't work up here. Rogers sure has crappy service. Hope you saved a few birds for when I get back.

Kevin

[BIGHORN]

I don't have a call for you Kevin, when Bob sent me my punisher it was still prototype but i do believe he is now in production with them, if you want one just say the word i can probably put my hands on some of them after he fill his stock and store orders!!!

[HOYTarcher]

An all blue punisher would look good! Can't shoot, can't call mine as well look good.

BTW saw your photos on Hayes' Facebook page, nice way to start the season.

[HOYTarcher]

A couple of great hunts from this weeks installment of grinding geese with Bighorn. Thanks to Gary W for lining up one of the incredible hunts. My dog lost her mind trying to figure out which goose to bring back when they really started raining down.

Also a limit of puddle ducks from earlier in the week on a solo hunt.

[BIGHORN]

Yup definately a couple great hunts 54 honker's on two hunts, thanks Kevin they were awesome also thanks to Gary W as well good job spotting on your first year of waterfowling!!!
