whats your most memorable hunt? great or disaster?
my most memorable was the most miserable.
me, my dad, and grandfather hiked all night(4-5 hrs) thru this waist(chest on my 12 yr old self) deep marsh, towing decoys, to get to this small island that the geese liked to land around just after dawn.
we arrived around a hour before dawn, and it started to icy rain, and the temp plummeted just as we got set up.
we sat there for a good 4 hours after sunrise till we figured the geese weren't comming.
during this time the water got a thin layer of ice on it. the sharp cutting stuff.
by the time we got back to the truck we were so cold, and miserable, and had cuts all over from falling down.
we talked about that hunt till the day my grandpa died(10yrs later) and me and my dad still talk about it(18yrs later).
its a great memory of a miserable hunt.
