Had decent window of opportunity this am,was planning solo trip to beautiful Honey Island Swamp and got new boat trailer perfectly suited for hauling yaks,canoe,pirogues,etc and got running boards adjusted yesterday evening,left home with plenty of time to hit an area that seemed to hold potential.Took my time unloading gear and made the all of five minute paddle to gorgeous island,saw a few hunters,most likely two hunters hunting together and rain was only slight,figured why not stick it out,await rain to cease and skies were dark and ominous at first,shooting time arrived and about ten minutes later saw nice solo and took chance but did NOT cash in but not too long later,pair came in perfectly got both and made immediate retrieve,based upon presence of ornery river otters.Funny thing is I heard ZERO shots from gents hunting nearby,heard ZERO from way deep in Swamp,never a good thing and just filled out harvest report via Internet,great way to fill out self-clearing permit and avoid having to stop at check station!!Got three woodies thus far and happy with that as regular duck season been such a bust!!!Love McClain trailer I just got from Hammond Academy and works superb!!Can't wait to get back out ASAP!!
