Sorensen
Oct 25, 1978
I sat in #4 as was shushed. Could have taken a
fall or ridger but followed the "spig syndrome". I did
get three spigs however. Sat retrieval then nicely.
Oct 28
I had high choice and sat in #2 for several hours.
Shot 1 shell only (killed a high cock spig) and never did
fire again. Big north wind built up as birds came in
from the south and settled on the yard near the stock-pile
but none came toward #2. Did get three in #6. I took
two spigs walking out -- boy they could do tricks in that
wind! Also two cock pheasants after lunch.
Nov 4
In #4 I shot three shells from 6 PM to 5:30 and
came up with a mallard and a spig. Did get three in
#2, broody one in #1, Dennis & Justin shushed in #6.
He agrees that the flights are about the worst we
can remember for the first two weeks of the season. Poor
hills also on main Sorensen Pond and Etche Club. Continued
warm sunny weather as northern ducks are loafing
on the Canadian prairies. Boy out dropped 15 spige
but they were so damn wild I couldn't kill a one.
Brody & I counted 11 heathish going out to Baerville.
