Well I went to the promised land this weekend. Went to our camp in SE Arkansas to move a skid blind. Only problem was the field was just muddy enough to clog up the tires, but not wet enough to allow the 4-wheelers to sling it free. As a result two Honda 350's with winches couldn't pull it all the way out of the field. The blind was stuck.
The only reason we were moving it was due to a land deal that left us with 1 less field than we had originally leased for the season. Bottom line, the infamous "submarine field" is not gonna be hunted by the "Ain't no Tellin'" boys this year. In fact the end appears in sight for the "Ain't no tellin'" boys. I believe the camp will be disbanded after this season.
On a more positive note I went and looked at another lease about 12 miles to the north. It looks promising. The only weakness is a lack of duck blinds on the property. Becasue of this we'll be hunting in layout blinds or possibly in a skid blind. There were some ringers and spoonbills holding up on the catfish blinds next to the lease, also the Specklebelly geese are around in full force. While we were there the geese were stirring up constantly, and while we were working on the blind some Grey ducks (Gadwalls) and a few others tried to come into the flooded field we were working on. Maybe, just maybe it will be a productive season.
Stay tuned.
