Hoopers, Thanksgiving Weekend

Hunted Hoopers last Friday and Saturday, after Thanksgiving.

On Friday, we trekked to Bloodsworth in the morning and hunted Great Cove. There is not much grass in Great Cove, so we did not see as many birds as we normally do on Bloodsworth. So the shooting wasn't great, but I did learn that I will never bother heading back there again.

In the afternoon, we hunted Prossner Point (formerly Gunner's Point) on the Lower Island. We saw a lot of birds, but did not convince any to toll. However, did see a pretty moonrise:

On Saturday, Greg Prossner, John Ashton and I went on a sea duck hunt out of the layout. We set up at the mouth of the Honga, and put out a rig for Old Squaw. Here are a few that buzzed the decoys:

He didn't kill it, so John Ashton had to finish it:
