Back in the 70's we'd get 20 flushes some days. My roommates and I shot 200 grouse one year! 4 of us hunting with 3 dogs. Now I seldom see any. Don't believe I could bust the brush and hunt hard like we did back then but we sure had fun. My favorite game bird. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Made it down for last three days of late season. Only hunted Wednesday and today as Thursday was just too windy. Wednesday was very windy also with high seas so it was late by the time we got out but had a decent shoot. This morning wind was down but we had engine issues and ice to break so another late start. Birds decoyed well and although not great table fare it was a good ending to the season. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Looking for a report on Finger Lakes waterfowl numbers. There don't appear to be many birds on the SLR and I was wondering if they are held up in the Finger Lakes as the late season. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

What a nice shoot. Next year we will only be allowed half that many! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Had a good morning with my son and a friend. 4 mallards, 3 whistlers, 2 gadwall, 2 bufflehead, and a goose. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Very few ducks in my area. Fortunately had a group of geese come in and got three large ones. One was double banded in Ivey Lea Canada. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Took 50 lbs. of goose to Miller's to be made into slim Jim's, jalapeño/ cheese sticks and summer sausage. Having my buck butchered and making a bunch into dried Italian salami, dried Pepperoni, venison bacon, country little links, hotdogs, moser sausage, and maybe some BBQ. I've already made breakfast sausage, Italian sausage and chorizo. Think I'll have about 115 lbs of various sausages, as welll as steaks, loins, tenderloins, sirloin tips, etc. Guess I'll have plenty to share with family at Christmas, and also with friends and farmers.

So no deer hunting but went goose hunting this morning and shot a 3 man limit! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have mixed feelings on taking a decent buck this morning. On one hand it's the best buck I've killed on this property but it's very early in the season and my buck tags are filled. I do have doe tags for 6g and a doe late muzzleloader tag but don't intend to fill them. I was watching a doe and two fawns in a big grass field at 8:00 this morning when I heard a grunt and shortly this guy walked up. Hopefully we will have some nice weather so I can sit some watches with my wife (she's a fair weather hunter) and my son will be up for Thanksgiving. Guess I'll be doing more waterfowl hunting and some perch fishing this fall. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I don't disagree that the last week of early season has many migratory birds showing up. Just seems odd that Canada has much longer goose season and 5 bird limit and is just across the river from us. We are also allowed only 2 scaup and you can shoot 6 in Canada. Not sure if they have changes for next year. I'm certainly in favor of conservation measures when needed but it seems as though rules should be similar on both sides. Also this year there were very few resident birds in my area till the migratory birds moved down. Guides were even canceling due to lack of geese until the last week of the early season.
