Great pic! I’m sure you had a blast! What part of the province did you guys hunt? I was scouting east of Edmonton and had seen not a single bird...

And so it begins, been scouting 3 times this wk for the kids to get out this weekend for the Waterfowl Heritage Days, slim pickins around here except for ducks. Think we have a field with decent numbers now. Did see a krapload of ducks though, one bunch was 20-30,000 on one roost. We were looking closer to Calgary to avoid the logistics issues and just do day hunts. No shortage of honkers around, just not flocking up yet in most areas. Watched a field last nite that I was thrilled to see 60+ birds on, lots of 10's & 20's around.. Sidekick found one with 200+ though, much better investment.

I have been out the past two days scouting, and I am not seeing a lot of geese and even fewer ducks. I only found two harvested pea fields and one swathed barley field, and only the barley field had enough geese to even have me even considering a hunt. Hopefully the farmers are able to harvest the pea crops soon, and more birds move into our area. Most of what I am seeing are Canadas, but a few specs are showing up.

I went scouting east of the city today again and we saw tons of ducks! They are everywhere, in every single slew! We were trying to find geese and were able to locate a few fields with them but no more that 30-50 birds. Lots of our regular go to places now have canola growing.... But we were able to find quite a few combined peas fields, especially along hway 16. Heading back tomorrow for more scouting and to knock at few doors...

We were north west of you and found some honkers.
Opening day 40 honkers and six mallards, five guys.
Yesterday different field 17 honkers and 20 mallards three guys.
We should have had more honkers yesterday but the wind died.

We have reworked our setup this year. We have sold off most of our shells and replaced them with silhouettes.
That’s 15 dozen 10 Canada 5 speck
The other big change is the a-frame
The picture is the classic fence line but we have also run it in a pea field and no flairing. Way easier to shoot and work the dog.
