Another good morning out there. First little bit of sheet ice close to shore today too. Mixed bag, but got the teal trifecta (gwt, bluewing, and cinnamon). Looking forward to going again in the morning.

Quick report on my opening day hunt. This is my third season waterfowling and I have avoided opening morning on the WMAs near me. It is a bit chaotic. In fact, I have avoided mornings altogether because I didn't want to mess up others' hunts with my newbie blunderings. That is also why I have...
This is amazing! 12 and 17 off-trail miles in any terrain is pretty significant, but in Alaska tundra and river bottoms it is especially aggressive. I am impressed. I spent a summer studying backcountry lakes, and 17 trail miles was our longest single-day trek, and that was stiff. Hats off to...
