Had to stop upland game hurting as I can't see my dog, much less any birds that flush. Doves are out of the question. And way too dangerous to walk in the woods for fear of poking my one remaining blurry eye out. I really missed not being able to walk the logging trails in Manitoba this year, just for the smell of the spruce/aspen forest, hear the ravens squawk, and pick mushrooms. But my kid and I did try a little pass shooting on mallards and pintails where I was hoping to see a low bird early enough to get an overhead shot, but alas the birds were not flying that morning, so didn't fire a shot. We had a poor flight of diving ducks again this fall, so did not get out in my boat where I hoped to shoot some birds in the water among my decoys. Still a lot of fun to be out there a bit and see hunters using my habitat plots.
