Hunting With Sean Mann

What a killer goose hunt today! I had the fortunate opportunity to fill in a last minute spot with some buddies (for free!) to hunt in Wye Mills (Talbot County, MD) with Sean Mann and his crew on a 380 acre farm along two miles of the Wye River. We worked it hard from our pit blind and came away with nine geese. Unfortunately the day turned out to be a gorgeous, sunny, blue-bird day. Add that to late season, pressured/educated geese and it made conditions tough to limit out. Either way, we had a blast. We hunted mostly over those new Real Geese silhouettes (I found out that geese see in 2-D, so the big, expensive 3-D dekes don't make much of a difference).

The Pit Stop

Great morning goose hunting today from our pit blind. Tons of Canadian Geese overhead, but it was tough pulling these late season ganders into shooting range. And the wind kept switching direction, which didn't help our cause. We had a great spread of silhouettes, shells, and full bodies and plenty of good calling. Sean Mann would be proud.

They call me Gig

Man I love frog gigging. Had a great time this spring and even took the little ones down to camp for a family camp-out and late night gigging. Big ol bullfrogs and tons of fun. I am still waiting for a new challenger to step forward and beat my record, which earned me the nickname, Gig.
