We're all ready on this side of the state. Hope the birds cooperate next weekend. Buddy was out for youth hunt yesterday and didn't see much.

Thanks. Had some spotty reports from youth hunt but sounded like it was decent. Few guys I've talked to in our area have been seeing some birds. I was surprised at the complete lack of movement last night. My wife's kept me busy since September and haven't been out like I normally am. I even missed teal season! Good luck in Iowa.

@Ryan MiloshewskiSeeing many birds on your side of the state moving? Was out yesterday afternoon on the river setting dekes and sat at our dock until sunset. All we saw was 4 geese. We usually see good numbers this time of year moving before dusk.

Picked mine up last Thursday, too. Got 2 Pro Guide AGM Group 31. Fished today with them for the first time. Held the boat in heavy current all morning. Checked voltage when I got home and was still over 12.6v on both batteries. First impressions were great, hope they hold up to my abuse.

Tried to pick some up local (STL) last week but they were out. Supposed to be in this week.

You got me paraniod! I haven't repacked my bearings for this season yet. Had to pull the hubs today to make sure all looked good.

There was a nesting pair not too far down the river from here before the big floods. Looked like the nest was being rebuilt this spring.

@BilletHeadI know where some decoy stealing, jerk line cutting, no good beavers live if you need some more backstraps.

Post hunt 2018 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout today.

Yesterday morning.

@ness had western omelette with sausage sandwiches for breakfast.

Went right over my head. I just assumed you thought my slingers would pair well with a rye on rye and rightly so. Slingers are a St. Louis late night diner staple. Usually consist of hash browns and sausage patties topped with chili, a fried egg, cheese and chopped onions. In this case, it was a duck croquette over duck chili topped with an egg, cheddar cheese and chopped onion with jalapeno and tomato.

Happy to hunt with you any time. Great to see some ducks!

Duck Slingers from this morning.

BBQ's a favorite. Boulevard makes some good beers. This one's from today. .
