Maryland Waterfowl '24

[Enigma]

Spent the last week in MD hunting late season waterfowl. Cambridge, MD was home base. Went on a couple guided hunts but mostly hunted from a boat blind. My good friend has a registered spot in the cove he lives on.

Morning goose hunt. 15 guns total, 2 bird limit. From a-frame blinds in the middle of a cut cornfield. 45 minutes of goose insanity and we were done.

"Cash" was an absolute beast and goose getting machine. Really fun to watch him work.

Most days we hunted the cove near home depending on weather. Bluebills, buffleheads and mallards, etc. One of the younger guys shot a merganser.

We ate duck jerky and pork braciola. The younger guys were cranked on red bull and duck videos 24/7. Some epic foos was played and a championship awarded. Making plans to go back next year.

He was a three year old male cbr.

As luck would have it I found myself on the end of the shooting line in the last blind. The dog owner and #1 goose caller was to my immediate left, and then the dog sat right outside the edge of the last blind. I had a front row seat for the dog show. Good stuff.

No. The young guy that shot it was getting it mounted so it saved us from having to try and eat it lol.
