My son and I took my boat out to Benson in Cache and hunted one of the islands. Normally there are several birds, but not today. They didn't seem to be hanging out on the islands like they normally do, although there was some shooting.
We, and the dogs, jumped three birds on probably the biggest of the islands. The first was a hen that came up about 10 yards away, just after we started hunting, and just a few seconds later two more jumped up more than 50 yards away. That was it! Oh such fun fighting the cattails, reeds, and especially the phragmite. That crap is taking over.
We both got tired and decided to bag it since we weren't going to bag any, and I came home and made a batch of my candy. Then my wife and I went out to dinner at El Toro Viejo and went and watched USU slaughter a Canadian team. JC Carroll kicked booty. He was like 13 of 16 shots for 32 points and probably didn't play half the game.
