Weather, Weather, Weather

Hmmm, Ron's new footwear? Or could these be the lucky duck shoes of the chick in the kitchen?
Just like with real estate (location, location, location) with duck hunting, it could be said, it is "weather, weather, weather" and today proved that to be true. In the case of The Hunt Club, it could also be "location, location, location" as well. Jack and his guests along with Murph all harvested limits of mallards. For the record this is the day that a blizzard is humming along the upper midwest dumping large amounts of rain in our part of the world. Looks like tomorrow will be much of the same - only windier. Attention duck hunters!

Ducks Galore





Check out the duck "scorecard" - lots of mallards. Jeff and Jim Metter hunted together Sunday and had a great hunt. Jim was excited because he had a black mallard. A fitting end to a long shotgun weekend were the deer Nick and Keith harvested. More on those deer and photos later.

Father and Son harvest trophy deer

Jackson (L) and Lloyd Parker both harvested these fine bucks late yesterday afternoon. What a wonderful day for father and son -- this is Jackson's first hunt at The Hunt Club and this isn't the first buck that Lloyd has harvested here. Congratulations, guys!

A Grand Slam Every Day

Steve Sigman (newly added to the Maritz membership roster) and his brother, Joe, hit it big on their first ever duck hunt at The Hunt Club yesterday afternoon.

This is the second shotgun season - maybe we will have a photo this afternoon. Frosty, frosty 19 degrees this morning! Happy weekend to everyone.

Another Grand Slam

Arriving early for shotgun season, Dave Robbins and Tony Adams joined Jeff for an afternoon duck hunt - limits of mallards all around! Tony and Dave were educated on the acrobatics of ringnecks! Too much fun - this was only the second duck hunt Dave has ever been on and though Tony has done quite a bit of duck hunting, he thought this was one of the best ever.

Today everyone is out of the pits and in the deer huts. We had an exciting start to the morning when Ron's little misadventure (oops, backed up into a BIG ditch) brought Jill to the rescue of the hunters stranded with Ron. All hunters made it to their stands in good time, but Jill's heart was a pumping driving on unfamiliar, pot hole laden and flooded cow paths!

Remember this?

Just 2 days now to the 2nd shotgun season and I thought it would be fun to post some scenes from seasons past. Do you think Ron is really sleeping, or just posing?

I noticed my numbers of friends are increasing - makes me feel so happy! See some of you soon .
