It has been a while, but the cold weather is finally on its way...and so are the birds. We are already seeing some ducks and it looks to be a promising season. Right now we are waiting for our crops to be harvested. We have one of our new pits in the ground and hope to get the other two in soon. At least the off-season gave us time to put decoys together.
01/02/2011
This is only one of the ponds. I would say we have a few birds here...
01/01/2011
Several good hunts today. Everyone got their birds. The good hunting will hopefully continue for the rest of the season.

We had a great holiday weekend at Ganders and Greenheads. We even got a few bands. The snow even pushed some more birds our way.

It is cold, but the geese are flying. The numbers on the nearby strip mine lakes are going up daily and so are our kills.

We have acquired some new fields, and our 3 new Bradley Pits are on their way. We are also getting ready to break ground on our new club house. Please check back often for pictures.
01/16/2010
We had a great weekend. The low fog and the spike in the weather made for excellent hunting. We got over 50 birds in 2 days between 3 pits. It's a shame there are only 2 weeks left.
01/08/2010
Another good one.
01/07/2010
It's a cold one, but the birds are flying. There are a lot of new birds in the area and more coming each day.

They're here....finally. We have gotten our first big push of birds with plenty more to come.
10/19/2009
We are getting geared up for the 2009-2010 season. We've got blinds and pits going in as we speak.

Four guys, four limits. We are going to end this season with a bang...well...technically 8 bangs.
01/24/2009
There is one week left in the season and there are still too many geese to count landing in the stip mines. One of our buddies brought his really nice camera and we wanted to share these picts with you. He got some really good ones of the swans.
01/18/2009
Another great weekend...except for the weather. It has been bitter cold for a while, but the birds are sticking around. They didn't move for a few days last week, but they were moving this weekend, just a little later than normal.
01/11/2009
We had five hunters this weekend and couldn't have asked for more! We killed out before noon on both days.
01/07/2009
Sorry for taking so long to update the news...too busy hunting I guess. Ducks are out and geese are in. We have been killing a limit almost everyday. We've even gotten a few bands. The geese are getting smarter, but we're keeping up with them.
12/08/2008
The geese are flying like crazy. We saw one group after another
after another tonight. All of the birds from the north that flew in
last week are still here and we keep getting more. We were one bird
shy of a limit today, but I'm blaming that one on forgetting to put my
contacts in.
12/01/2008
We have a lot of new birds in the area. The snow up north has pushed a lot of birds into the area.
11/20/2008
We have passed the 100 mark for ducks killed. We are having a great season. We have seen a lot of ducks in the past 10 days. We are also gearing up for goose season.
10/26/2008
We had a great opening weekend! Total kills are 23 geese and 19 ducks between 12 guys. The birds are starting to migrate into the area. Things will only get better from here!
