Thanks: A farewell to the off-season

[Montauker]

Given a few of the posts that have popped up recently and over the course of the summer, I'd like to say a welcomed good-bye to the "off-season". Only 3 days to go for most people.

A big thanks to the Avery staff, pro-staffers and really all forum members on here. I truly enjoy this community and for the most part I think it accomplishes what this forum was meant to do: share ideas and tips on hunting and provide feed back and ideas to the company that has taken the lead in the waterfowling equipment industry.

Thanks to all for making this off-season more enjoyable/bearable than the last. Lets remember to keep in touch for the next five months, share some photos, share success stories and mishaps, and above all, remember to be careful out there.

Good luck in 2006-2007.

Montauker,

I couldn't have said it better. I hope our schedules can work out so we can get out and take a crack at the birds together sometime this season. Best of luck!

Good luck everyone, this time Friday I should be cleaning geese and getting ready for the evening goose or dove hunt depending on the numbers!!!

[Adam Reid]

The birds are already flocking up around here and flocks of geese are starting to arrive in Anchorage, it is almost here. Sept 1 - Dec 16 can't wait!!!

[Travis Mueller]

Great post! Be safe guy's.

[Kevin Carter]

I won't be putting the bead on any geese this weekend, but Saturday is opening day of dove season around here and my trigger finger is already itching like crazy. Good luck to you guys, and don't forget to post some pictures.

Thanks to this message board I survived the most dreadful thing in life. THE OFF-SEASON! I couldn't have done it without everyone's help on here. I too will be out this weekend taking a crack at the long necks. I hope to see a lot of pictures from everyones hunts and I'll do my best to post up pics in between hunts. Good Luck everyone and be safe.

[Michael Weiss]

Lets play ball!!!!!

[Travis Mueller]

With all that time T.J., you could SCOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paul Cupka]

Amen! Max, give me a shout, I'll be up your way as soon as Joe Williams gets his Yankee butt down here next week to bang some honks on the Potomac. Scouted it today and will check it again early next week. I may have a spot for you.

[TJ Davis]

Travis, I was out all weekend while u were having fun in KC jj. I was out tonite and plan on going in the morning before work and after work rest of the week. Your more than welcome to come join me.

Thank goodness the season is almost here. I was having terrible dreams that the season was somehow getting further away. Though my scouting trips for geese were not promising, I am hoping that we at least get a few locals to come crashing into the middle of the new GHG spread I'll be setting. There just don't seem to be as many resident geese in my area as there were in the past several years, and with the warm weather I doubt they will be migrating any time soon. In any case, I was as giddy as a kid on Christmas just to go and splash around in my waders again! Plenty of ducks around. Too bad we don't have an early teel season.

[Christian Curtis]

Good thread! I wish everyone a great and safe season! Take those cameras to the field and keep us posted!

[Aaron Hitchins]

I am looking forward to seeing everyones pictures and hearing the stories that will come with the opener. I am a completely new hunter heading into this season, with calls recommended by MB Members, Decoys I wouldn't have known about if it werent for the boards, and a whole lot of knowledge that it would have taken me years to accumulate. Along with everyone else I offer a sincere thanks to everyone that has helped me out on this Message Board!

Good Luck to all

Aaron
