Wyoming Honks Year 2

Blake, Tyler, and Tyson headed up to Wyoming again this year to hunt honks for their opener. It's nice to get hunting in a week early! We hunted the same fields as we did last year, but this year set up adjacent to a shallow pond the birds had been working for the last little bit. We saw a lot of birds, but didn't quite set up on the "X" on the opener. We had two come in early and we shot them both. Tyson was also able to shoot a blue wing teal off the pond as well. We had a flock of about 30 come in and go down about 70 yards behind us. They worked the deeks for 3 circles, they never flared. There was just something in that back field that they wanted. The rest of the birds were working up the fields from us about half a mile. We tried to figure out how to put the sneak on them, but it didn't work out that day. Here's a couple shots of that day's take.





Blake was able to stick around for a few days after Tyson and Tyler left to go back to reality. He was able to find the "X". He reported that he landed approximately 150 birds in the decoys solo hunting, and was able to take his time and find a band. That hunt was over quickly for him that day. He was able to get old Coot out and on some birds as well. A great warm-up to what promises to be a great waterfowl season in Utah this year.
