Scouting with Willy and Peat

The Masterpiece

Like the title says, we all went scouting.  Really we went to build the blind on the point at Anderson for the year and see what there was to see about digging a pit blind on the other point. (It was pointless)  We unloaded the boat at the ramp down the road and made our way back to the Anderson slough.  After waiting for a guy and his girlfriend to pilot their bigger ski boat through the channel we got to the point.  It's important to note here that they were in shorts and a bikini and were wakeboarding, kinda warm yet, eh?

We cleared the grasses and put down some wooden stakes and twine that will act as the foundation for this years slaying masterpiece we call 'the point'.  Then the new trail was cut so that we can walk out easily without getting all wet and icky, who wants to walk in the water when you are hunting anyway.  To further our not getting wet program Willy worked Peat by throwing bumpers and getting him to jump from the boat and shore to retrieve.  Peat even went multiple sets and brought back 3 in a row with just hand commands.  Good Dog.  With the cut brush piled close by for blind fodder and the area secure we looked on the other side of the channel to see about the late season pit.  It was not the time yet to build that particular spot so we headed back to the ramp and home in time for a nice nap.

One week 4 days to go.
Something to keep in mind is that I will be on vacation for the opening 3 days of the season.  Willy will be out for the first and second day hunting the point.  Will there be a new 'Expert' before I even have a chance to hunt?  Will Fred G and Cliffy go out and slay?  Will I have to pay out before I even return to Idaho?  All these questions and more will be answered soon, so stay tuned.
