How did your season go.....

....or, if its still going on, how is it going?

My season here in MI finished up about 3 weeks ago; we have a two day "late season" that takes place the weekend after New Years, but I will be on call for the hospital that weekend, so I've put the boats and decoys up for the season.
I didn't do too bad.....put a few in the freezer for dinner, and got a couple of birds that I will use as taxidermy subjects (drake Greenwing teal and drake bufflehead). Learned that there are a lot of greedy S.O.B.s out there calling themselves 'sportsmen', but really they are just game hogs......I've decided that next year I'm not hunting the cornfields on the managed area I hunt, but rather will take the 'undesirable' areas in the marsh instead....did that this year and shot a bluebill at 15 yards and a drake mallard at 25......both had their wings cupped and commited and were very gratifying shots!

My home made decoys looked and worked great this past year, and I have a few ideas for some projects for next fall, including a new blind for my johnboat and a floating, portable dog stand that I can also use as a decoy transport.
I also need to find a way to quickly get my boat over a large dike (by myself).....lifting & dragging it over by myself is getting to be way to much of a chore!

Hope your season went (or is going) well........
