Late Season Lake Erie Duck Hunting Goldeneye

Last week of duck hunting off Lake Erie. Shorelines starting to freeze up. Found some open water on a strong Nort West wind. Set a small spread, natural look. Key here is to outsmart the birds. These are smart birds by now. Small spread, did not call. Also, chose a well hidden blind and hid well. Must be carefull not to flare these late season birds. Good number of birds as I knocked down four skirting my spread. 2 Common Merganzers and 2 Goldeneyes.

Great day to enjoy Late Season action.

Warren County PA Pheasants On Gamelands

Went for a mid season pheasant hunt on PA gamelands in Warren County. Got a nice pair of birds, a hen and a ringneck. Pushed hard through the brush. Found birds on the edges of fields in tight cover. Birds were holding extra tight, and needed a good dog to launch them. Fun day to be chasing these tasty birds.

Took a group of scouts out today hiking one of New York's best kept secrets. Panama Rocks, located in western New York in the town of Panama, boasts some of the most astounding examples of geological history. Large caves and rock shelters abound in this area. It is simply amazing to see and fun to trec. The scouts had a blast exploring the numerous caves and caverns. Weather was great and all had a good time enjoying the outdoors.

Fall Perch Run Presque Isle Bay

Decided to try some Fall fishing in Presque Isle Bay. Water temp has been dropping with cooler nights and this triggers fish. Fall fishing can be fantastic. Fish gorge as they prepare for winter. Caught over 100 perch in 3 hours. One pole is all I could handle. A mix of sizes. Kept from 8 inch to a nice jumbo at 14. The bite was steady from first light till about 11:00am. Very eager fish. They often hooked themselves and had many doubles. Kept only fish that were fillet worthy. Very fast action.
