This year has been horrible for me and my group, to the point that it's worse than last year. Only saving grace MIGHT BE February's RP goose season. Time will tell.
This year in PA, only killed 5 geese and 5 ducks ALL season long.
Last year in PA, 13 geese and 8 ducks all season.
Two years ago in PA, ..... we did 53 geese and 23 ducks. By no means is that anything remotely awesome, but the numbers are falling my friends. I've scouted more aplaces, obtained more land, and have gotten better at calling, etc .....
You tell me what has changed ......?????
Sure glad I went down to Eastern Shore this week. I was beginning to wonder if I could remember how to shoot my shotgun anymore.
We kicked butt down there Wednesday!
I love hunting, more so spending time with my son and just being outdoors, but it is nice to see ducks & geese while out. I don't really care anymore so much about killing anything, but I like for my son to be able to now and then so it keeps his interest level going would be nice.
I told my hunting partners 3 weeks ago, ..... thinking next year to book 3-4 trips down to MD and give up on hunting here in PA. All the gas, time, money, vacation days I spend scouting and hunting in PA could be put to better and more productive use at home and with the family.
In the end ..... it ain't gonna matter ...... Obama is going to have all our guns anyways.
