    Sold / Closed Legacy -The 2021 Season-

    Last day buck , opening day bucks. Last day of Bow I got into the stand early. Around 7 I heard a doe blee .... But nothing that way. 30 min later I hear a stick break over that way and look. I see a doe with a nice buck behind her at 45 yards. He stood there for a hour and 45 minutes. Just standing there staring at me the whole time and he is upwind. I think he has me skylined . Not sure where the doe ever ended up going, but he walked five yards closer but then angled going away. But stopped quartered away Looking back hard at me. Now or never... I shoot and hit him perfect in front of the guts and to the opposite shoulder. He ran 80 yards and fell over . Opening day I go to the same tree stand hoping that doe is still in that thicket. Well 650 in the morning I had a doe bust me and stand there only 1 thing to do now. Bang! A good hour and a half goes by . I hear something behind me and all I see is tines in the golden rod . He's following a doe no time to think I pull up and shoot. He does a loop and his antlers catch the ground and he flips dead on my pathway..... Unbelievable 2 years in a row last day of Bow opening day of gun same tree same spot. Opening day afternoon hunt with the wife at my lease. We got to the blind and all set up , heater on , gun in the bipod took my hands off the bipod looked out the window and said there's your buck out there now LMFAO. She has an antler restriction bigger than a 4. Well he's bigger than 4. He's out at 132 yards . I said whenever your ready. Bang ! The deer runs 20 and falls over in the field !!!! Perfect heart shot ! Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. I was going to bow hunt this morning but with the cornfield flooded..... That wasn't a hard choice. Hunted till we got our Mallard's then we left. The dog got some birthday work today!! Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. Hunted the lease this my with my buddy, not many ducks but lots of geese. Water was up so high it was almost level with the floor of the blind. Easy for the dog to swim right in. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. With all this rain I got the day off of work and so did my buddy. We knew the creek was going to be flooded in the cornfield so that's where we ended up. Not many birds have been down there at all this year but knew they were going to show up with all this water. Had lots of wood ducks come in first thing and then we picked away at Mallard's and a black. Even had a flock of darts show up. Awesome morning !!

  11. Today was 1 of them days nothing was going right . Couldn't make it back to the spot cuz the water was to high so plan B and that had no birds only got 1 wood duck. That's what happens when u don't scout lol. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. Hunted the creek yesterday with a couple buddy's , wood ducks are not around like last year that's for sure. We only saw about 50 ducks all morning. Hopefully today is better Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Took my buddy's kid out this afternoon for the youth hunt at my lease . I took him out shooting a couple weeks ago so he wasn't scared of the gun (.243) when time comes. So I picked him up at 230 then stopped at DD for our iced coffees. Got to the lease and in the blind all set up around 4. We are looking over a huge Clover field and the wait begins. Every couple minutes I would look out the window to look for deer because the two of them are buried in their phones.... It was around 5:15 I looked out the window and there is a nice 8 point standing 140 yards away feeding looking right us. I already had the gun and bipod set up for a nice easy shot. He was getting ready to shoot but shaking like a leaf I had to calm him down. "It's just a deer " he's not going anywhere lol. A couple minutes goes by and the deer turns broadside. He says I'm ready. I told him whenever you have the crosshairs on him and your ready shoot. Let me tell u when that gun went off and the deer dropped the blind was going crazy !!!! Hands down the best hunt I ever been on and will never forget. He was the happiest kid ever!!! Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. I guess this answers the absolute foul smell of death by the swamp I was hunting this weekend up north. I couldn't believe the smell and did not want to investigate it . Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. I went up north this past weekend with a couple of friends for the opener. We split into two groups to spread out and learn the swamp a little bit more. Lots of birds for the first hour. It looked like delta waterfowl out there. Not Sunday tho . All 4 of us got our limits and I got a banded GWT. What a awesome time . This morning nobody woke up lol but me so I went to the swamp myself and scratched out a limit . Can't wait till next year's opener. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. I finally got on a roost/loaf spot we have been trying to get on for a long time . All the birds we hunted last week came from there. I knew it was going to be a good hunt as long as the numbers were still around .Them birds had no clue what was going on, hind and setup was mint. They seen the decoys and balled right in . #geeseoverwater Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. The geese decided to feed last night in the field we hunted in the morning. So why not hunt it again . This morning was heavy fog it had the birds kind of messed up as to where to go and what field to feed in cuz u couldn't see shlt. Picked at a couple flocks and small packs then. When the fog lifted it seemed like some more flocks moved around as the morning went on . 930 was about it for us. We ended with 35 again. Probably saw 5 migrator flocks one flock that decided to come in and a mile high solo . Can't beat them ones that come down balled up that high. Took my buddy's kid out for his first hunt he passed his test last night so he couldn't hunt this morning but had a awesome experience. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. Did some driving around this week and the farmer cut some corn . It took a couple days to build up enough to hunt. So we hunted it this morning. Had great action from 7 to 8 then it slowed right down. I think we ended at 35, 1 band. Seen some late flocks flying on my way home. A nice push of birds for the last Saturday would be great.

  19. Got away Thursday night and did some scouting with my buddy and found a field with 100 in it. We hunted it this morning . Had the a frame up looked dumb as usual but good enough to fool a pair , and 2 flocks. Most of the birds came at once but with all the flocks flying around those ones never worked. Sky had a blast getting back on them birds. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. Seasons finally here , I haven't done much of anything this year as for scouting or looking for new spots. Just a couple geese at the lease pond . Feel free to post pics of your hunts. Good luck to all this year !!! Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  22. Just jeans and a hoodie most of the time !! Wetsuits only for diving and I don't plan on that [emoji23] . Can't believe I don't see more people out there in kayak's. Maybe 1 at I bay if I see anyone. I'm about done for the kayak trolling, good old work is getting in the way [emoji19]. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  23. I got out mid-morning 1030ish to 12. The light north breeze was good enough to get out. Only problem I had was no colored water. So with the water being so clear I ran a good lead ( that would be a good cast 5 paddles then click the bail over ) . Went 1 for 1, Goby bayrat . Almost had another. when I was reeling in about to pull the lure out of the water and there was a nice brown right under the surface behind it....... Lol . 1 boat came out as I went in . 16ft or so . He went through the channel and around the dredge ok. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  24. I launched from a house on the lake but , the guys were still out dredging the day I was out. If it was good I would have seen a boat . River is the best launch for now. Just have to pick east or west then [emoji2]. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  25. Not sure I launched off of the lakeshore. I didn't see any other boats out there and it was nice and calm out for the most part. Sent from my Pixel XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
