The blind is brushed, the decoys are out and the shells have been bought. All we need now are some ducks. Yute hunt on our lake was a success and we're seeing lots-o-ducks around. My guess is opening day will be good, Sunday will be a little less and the rest of the week will suck, due to temps in the 70's and South winds. Then we wait for a front... Hope everyone gets out as much as they can and enjoys the season. Be safe!!! |

Sounds good Andy We pumped the upper pond to hunting level 2 weeks ago--tested the 'ice pump' and it looks like we will have open water there regardless of weather Timber hole has a major gumbo bottom so we repaired the pallet walkway which makes getting in the blind much easier and since someone usually gets stuck and falls--drier then set the well and pump to work on the lower timber blind-- The calculations said we had to pump for 5 to 7 days at 400 gallons a minute (you can do the math but it is a lot of water ) About half the decoys are out--will add the rest around Vet's Day A lot of work just to not shoot ducks Wingman and another knothead will be up there this afternoon-- they will put any ducks to bed and I am sure to get a call with the report and any prognostications for the am They will have breakfast ready for the faithful tomorrow morning and have the coffee pots working over time I'll run up there tomorrow morning for a cup of coffee before walking out to the blind Foley weather forecast calls for cloudy and rain tonight-- and rain about shooting time Hopefully we will have a duck or two in the box when Mr Greenjeans shows up and we go through the ritual of license,ID, magnet for testing the shells and plug check Funny since he has been a 'visitor' twice during the teal season and everything checked out-- he must like us Good luck Just in case anyone up that way doesn't know courtesy of the Us Naval Observatory: Foley, Lincoln County, MO (Longitude W90° 44', Latitude N39° 3') Saturday, October 31, 2015 Central Daylight Time Sun Begin civil twilight 7:01 a.m. Sunrise 7:29 a.m. Sun transit 12:47 p.m. Sunset 6:04 p.m. End civil twilight 6:31 p.m. Moon Moonrise 9:09 p.m. on preceding day Moon transit 4:26 a.m. Moonset 11:43 a.m. Moonrise 10:05 p.m. Closest Primary Moon Phase: Last Quarter on November 3, 2015 at 6:24 a.m. (local standard time) Phase of the Moon on October 31, 2015: Waning Gibbous with 78% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated. |

I HATE when the opener falls on the last day of the month because that means my happy arse will at work. Sunday I'll be taking the step-daughter to try and kill a goat on a youth hunt. Hopefully they'll still be some around next week.. Good luck and be safe to those venturing out. |

WTF? Dog I said I hate it because I have to work on the date not that it's starting later than normal. It could start on any day in November and I'd be fine with it. |
