Dang that's a beautiful pair. I see them all the time in the city but we have no real place to hunt ducks and geese here. If my buddy comes through, we may be able to get some black brant if we're really on top of things.

addison, which kind of gun is that?  I Browning 22? nice bolt.  Where do you hunt? By kettlemoraine, jackson marsh? I know you're from sheyboygan and are there any places to hunt around sheboygan? I'm not from there but just wondering because we Milwaukeans got the west and northwest side to oursleves without traveling far.  My friend and I go dove hunting in Jackson, and he's going there this weekend for ducks.  I'm not, but doing some squirrel in wakesha this weekend.  Alot of squirrels this year?  I think the squirrels this year are big but i've seen alot of the small ones, but not alot of squirrels.  I think over hunt them last year thats why not alot of squirrels.
And nice geese.  did you use decoys? Geese call? I saw alot of ducks last two week when I went geese hunting but no luck.  The geese flew too high, but the ducks fly just right.  Good luck this weekend.

squirrel population in the north and south kettle seems pretty dead.. The nut trees barely have any nuts on them too.

Lots of questions here. I'll try my best to answer them all in order.  O0

I shoot a Mossberg 817 (.17HMR) bolt-action for small game.

My home forest is the Northern Kettle Moraines, which I hunt often. As for places around Sheboygan, the Kettle Moraines would be the closest big lot of public land available.

I've hunted Jackson Marsh before and it's a very productive area. There's plenty of wildlife there but alot of pressure from other hunters.

From what I've seen the squirrel population hasn't changed much where I hunt. Some areas hold more than others but you just have to limit yourself to keep the population alive and well.

As for geese hunting, we didn't use any decoys, just calls, since there was a group of geese 100yds from us already. Caught us off gaurd actually. lol.

Good luck and be safe this season. Feel free to ask questions. O0

I been to a couple of places and the hickory nuts are not blooming that's why no squirrels this year.  You might want to wait till the fall when there are no more leaves and go spy on the last tree with nuts on them and wait.  I know a place full of squirrels but no chance of shooting them.  too many trees and leave. You will have to be an asassin to get one.  Just wait till the leaves fall then go and wait.  I find it easy at this time to just sit and call them out.  the little squirrels do not come running like the Hon Tuu, so it kinda of hard to get a call back from the squirrels.  My dad they went to kettle moraine by eagle and it's dead.  The closest place to Milwaukee is lowell unit in Germantown.

Hey addison,
you are right about Jackson marsh.  There are alot of people there hunting for ducks, geese and others so it's a first come first basics.  two weeks ago I went out and saw over 200 ducks.  Be safe you guys.

Spooked gray squirrel so it ran into its tree hole with the head peeking out. Stood behind a tree for about 20 mins, but it wouldn't come out. Red squirrels decided to stopped by gray squirrel's hole and duck with it. Gray squirrel got mad and got out and BANG!...dead. Red squirrel was looking down thinking, "WTF just happened..?" BANG.. Red squirrel dead..
