Thinking of burning a couple days vacation and rolling down to the club for the last few days of the season.....doesn’t look like my sons can go....at least not until Saturday. I hate hunting alone..best friend passed in December so I am a little lost when my boys don’t go..I might consider taking a couple folks in for the hunt if anyone is interested.

I am leaving Wednesday from Chatham county returning Saturday around lunch.....shoot me a PM if interested....not guaranteeing anyone anything....but I enjoy sharing the place with some folks when I get the chance......I still need to check on a couple of members to make sure they are not bringing anyone....if they are coming at all.....

House is nice, plenty of beaver ponds on the creeks, and a couple of ponds too. Easiest duck hunt you will ever go on.....leave 30 min before LST......walk 200 yards from truck and hunt....got plenty of squirrel hunting woods to kill time in, or crows ......

Wish I was closer I may try to take you up on it. I’ve loved it the few times I got to go but there’s just not a whole ton of opportunities around here lol

I’d love to go, but we are heading down to Swan Quarter Thursday evening after my son gets out of Pumps class.

Dang nice offer Scotty! I would love to take you up on your offer for a morning, just have too many irons in the fire this week. I guess I shouldn't have took some much time off earlier this month to hunt!

He is. He is going in early to work for yours tomorrow. We would be heading down earlier if it weren’t for the mandatory classes.

I'm not about to buy a duck stamp at this point in the season, but if my work schedule works out, I'll try to swing by the clubhouse one afternoon.

Man what a great offer, short notice and missed 2 days due to snow and ice last week kills me.
Foothills hunts have been tough this season. Would have liked to go out with a bang up hunt. Son-in-law and I have had a lot of trouble with boat motor that has squashed some of our hunts when the birds were there. Maybe we can get together next season. There is alot to be said about the fellowship of duck hunters and the stories we have, even if the birds aren't flying.

Halifax County is my neck of the woods. If I can get a handle on the amount of homework I have before the end of the week, I may be hitting a swamp around here for one last trip out. This working/family man/online student life keeps me busy. Shoot me a PM if you still have a need for someone to accompany you - best part of duck hunting is sharing the blind.

You are welcome to join us Country RN.....the world famous “Buckshooter” is going to join me for the trip up.....he has never been duck hunting so I plan to ruin him right off the bat! We will probably try to squirrel hunt some too.

Well we didnt kill any ducks...... saw some, missed some...but nothing spectacular

I had a great time getting to know Buckshooter better and showing him around our place. He is a great guy!

Also had CountryRN show up yesterday evening and then come back and hunt with us this morning.... another great member of this forum. Thanks guys ... enjoyed it

Good work there. I may have to get you go give me a few trapping lessons if it works that good. As mentioned, I have a few that need to be cleared out over in Northampton county.

I was trying my best to get over there. Ended up working late Thursday and Friday, then got invited on a rabbit hunt today with some guys I haven't seen in years. If you get some free time between now and turkey season lets take the caller out and try to kill some more of them yotes.

Unfortunately we have plenty and that sounds like a plan to me.....

This is my first year trapping, so not sure I can give lessons.... i set out 8 traps when I got there Wednesday with the regular trapping lure/bait...... went to Walmart to get me secret lure on Thursday......chicken blood catfish chunks.... put those in my bait holes and finally caught that one Friday night..... Im not sure what is a good catch ratio.... but thats 2 I have caught in a total of 8 days with 8 traps set this year

wish I'd have seen this offer.........

Anyway, Scotty, if you want to up your "catch:trap day ratio" attend one OR MORE, of the FREE Trappers Ed classes mentioned in the Trapping Forum......one was in Bear Creek last year...and another in Lexington.

The upcoming 1 is near Raleigh.

Sure hate I missed this offer. I enjoy duck hunting and love to squirrel hunt. Have a couple pretty fair tree dogs to help out. If you find yourself back before the end of Feb. and are interested in treeing a few squirrels shoot me a message. I am in Edgecombe.
