AR Opener

How did you guys do? We've done a lot better in SE AR and have done a lot worse. I'd give it a D with an F being skunked. No one in our camp limited. Had some local birds. There's very little food or water except what has been pumped. Stayed over for Sunday hoping the front that cam through would push some new birds down. It didn't happen. On Sunday, you could tell the birds were skittish. You could get them to turn with the call but I couldn't get them to set down near anything that looked like a tree line or clump of weeds.

Am I going to have to keep hounding you to post pictures of that springer retrieving birds?

I know what the problem is................you obviously werent using HEVI X
If you had then you could have reached out and touched them from AFAR along that tree line or clump of weeds.
Next time, maybe next time........................

My buddy in NE AR hammered em at his camp, but they always do. Its all about location, location, location for them and they paid the big bucks and bought land on the “X” many years ago. Hope things inprove for ya Sondance.

We hunt in SE Arkansas also. We had a very good weekend. We saw a lot of ducks Saturday morning but has been less and less each day. We always have lots of geese. We didn't limit but had kids in blind with us. If we would have had more water Saturday we would have probably limited out. Most I talked to if they had water they did well.

LOL! I guess I do need to get me some of that Hevi X then. My problem ain't the shot, it's the shooter.

Guys in my camp said they were killing them in the NE and in Stutgart but they always are. The problem with the SE is the farmers pick the fields clean unless you pay them and no one wants to really leave water on the fields. Something to do with salt in the water decreasing yields. We were going to let one of our leases go this yearbecause of that very issue but the owner cut his asking price.

Smoke I'll try to get one this week of Mo. There weren't enough retrieves to warrant getting the phone out of my pocket. Sucker is so fast he looks like a blur anyway. I think he could be a really good dog if my kid would spend any time at all with him. Too much football, basketball and girls taking up his time.
