Second Amendment Rights being denied law abiding citizens!

1/16/2013

If you are as angry and upset as I am about the new anti gun legislation that has been rammed down our throat by Governor Cuomo then there is something you can do. An upstate Senator Kathleen Marchione would like you to sign a petition to repeal and replace certain key components of the Gun Control measures that will weaken the Second Amendment Constitutional rights of law abiding citizens. To do this simply go to the following link and electronically sign the petition. It will take less than one minute.

This is very important!!!!

These videos have been shot over the last two months. With my house getting flooded by Hurricane Sandy I haven't had much time to update the hunting reports but I am now back to normal and will keep posting until the end of the season. It has been a good season with a lot of birds from the north down here now. Looking forward to the rest of the hunting season.

Duck hunting on the Great South Bay weekend of 1/6/2012

Additional Photos from weekend of 1/6-8/2012

Rich Santos and Scout waiting on the first flight of birds of the day.

Back at the Hacienda Scout eagerly searching for ducks.

I mentioned PJ doing the heavy lifting. When you don't have waders on and want to get to the beach with dry feet this is the way it is done. PJ gives you a pony ride. Rich Santos getting a lift.

The afternoon hunt.

Weekend of 1/6-8/2012

A good crew of Pete Johnston, his son PJ and his dog Scout, Rich Santos, Jim Conte and Captain Al hooked up for a couple of days on an Island in the Great South Bay for some duck hunting.

Scout is a great dog and we really enjoyed seeing her retrieve the birds.

She is always attentive and just loves to hunt.

Pete Johnston is a great guy. Always fun and a true sportsman. He can cook with the best of them and the food is always the highlight of out hunting trips.

Pete and his son PJ. Pj does a lot of the heavy lifting these days as we are all getting a little older. He doesn't mind doing the hard work and is always fun to be with. He is a chip off the old block of his dad.

Jim Conte leaves no stone unturned. When hunting is slow he finds other ways to entertain himself such as treasure hunting. His big find was a buried pipe.

Some of the local wildlife. Here is a nice 6 point buck feeding on the new grass shoots. He had two does with him and they all looked very healthy.

Very unusual in broad daylight but we were able to get close to a red fox that was sunning himself on the beach. It didn't seem to mind us very much. It strolled down the beach as we followed in a boat and then kind of looked at us as if to say i'm tired of you and then walked into the brush.

Duck hunting, Great South Bay

I hunted with Rich Santos and Jim Conte today. We had an excellent day of hunting.

Here is a brant we harvested. It had two bands on it, one on each leg. They were both attached to the bird on the same day 8/18/2008 in the tidal marsh area of Koukdjuak, Canada near Baffin Island. The bands were made of different materials so the best I can figure is that they were testing new materials for banding.

Here are Jim Conte and rich with their birds.

It was a good hunt and a memorable day.

Another great day in the outdoors.

Here are Rich and I with some nice Broadbill ducks (scaup). We had our limit this day with two birds each.

Tower Shoot

Jim Conte and I organized a tower shoot at the Peconic River Sportsman's Club. It was a 24 man shoot with ducks and pheasants.

The weather was great and the birds were flying.

This was Russell Hurd's first tower shoot and he did real well and had a great time.

Below are a bunch of photos from the day.

A super day of ducks and geese.

George with probably the best looking drake Broadbill of the season.

At the beach house on West Fire Island and the new wood stove Pete Johnston installed. This baby kept us warm as toast.

Captain Al at sunset waiting for a black duck to show but no takers. Lots of ice and tough conditions.

The guys at West Island. Pete and PJ Johnston and Jim Conte and PJ's dog Scout. A great crew.

Tons of ice and rough conditions coming home across the bay. Pete was driving and had to bear the elements to get us home safely. We dodged lots of ice and had to break through miles of thick ice to make it back home. Pete kept his head up and got a lot of ice because of it but he never gave up, thank God.

It took us about an hour to break up this thick pack ice by the house but we made it to safety and a warm home (after about two hours). Thanks Leslie.

George and Jeff had an awesome Eider hunt near Shinnecock inlet.
