I was picked for 11/26/2023 at LaSalle FWA . Draw order 4 With the weather forecast for that date you might want to consider a deep water blind that won't freeze up quickly. Thank you for the advice. My hunting buddy said that he has been scouting out the areas since he lives near there . He is also my duck caller.

Congratulations, Check everything and then double check everything again before you ever take it hunting/fishing. Get 3 oars for the boat always good to have a spare. You know what they say about a boat (a boat is a hole in the water you pour money into). One of the main reasons why it took me so long to purchase a boat because of the expenses. My hunting buddy is coming over to help me fix what needs to be fixed .

I purchased new tires when I was picking up the Boat and Trailer and put them on before I left the place of purchase

Yesterday I went on Facebook Marketplace and saw a boat that was in my price range. It’s 14 foot not as wide as I was hoping but on my budget I couldn’t be happier. The trailer needs the brake lights replaced and the side markers replaced so I contacted my hunting partner and he’s going to help me with the trailer.

No they do not supply boats anymore . Too many hunters were leaving their garbage in the boats . I figured it would Get screwed up. You don’t have a good retriever do you? I know a couple good spots to sit right on the bank and let the dog go do the work. I actually have 2 Retrievers but not trained for hunting . Someone forgot to tell one of the labs that he is suppose to like playing in water and stepping in mud and he's terrified of dead game He will run and hide in his crate until the danger is gone . The other lab has a thin coat but loves the water but he is unsure about dead birds . Last but not least the German Shepard loves retrieving squeaker toys and loves the water to such a point the she almost jumped off a bridge about 15 feet to play in the water and she will sniff a dead bird . Come to think of it now it would make perfect since to train the German Shepard for hunting .

You might want to try drawing into that place before your reserve date and see what it's like and what your up against. I was thinking the same thing . I think the 2nd or 3rd week in November take a drive there and check things out .

There are a lot of opportunities hunting off the river there too. I would also advise against a rubber raft. Not sure if they provide a flat bottom boat or not still. The use too I know. No they do not supply boats anymore . Too many hunters were leaving their garbage in the boats .

ADVISE: I would not use a rubber raft in a place like Lasalle because your asking for big time trouble. 3 men plus decoys, guns, packs and what ever else is only asking for trouble. Try to find 14' boat with a good set of oars and a spare. Prepare for the worst and pray for the best results. The rubber raft is for a lake near me. I own 2 life jackets and oars and a small trolling motor and battery because of the raft . I have a few friends who are helping me find a boat

I don't believe you need a fire extinguisher un less you use a motor. DON'T seek the advise of others or groups of others such as those on "FACEBOOK" because they want to steer you away from the good blinds so they have a better chance on the leftover draws. STEER YOUR OWN SHIP!Great advice and this is the reason for my scouting on my own And I'm looking at buying my own boat because LaSalle FWA no longer have boats to use and also so that I can start hunting the rivers and fishing the rivers .

Did you see any birds? Don't forget you will need wearable PFD'S and a Throw out. Make sure your anchor lines on your decoys are long enough. Think about taking some camo netting or burlap to help cover up your blind. I own 3 wearables ( I have a 4 person rubber raft ) but I still need a throw out and I still need to buy a Fire extinguisher. Yesterday I was on Amazon looking at camo netting. I need to see how long my anchor lines are on my decoys . Thank you so much for the advice it’s much appreciated. Yes I seen about 20 plus Geese flying over 2 of the ponds that are huntable

This morning I went to LaSalle FWA and asked questions and got maps and regulations about Waterfowl Hunting. Then I spent 3 hours of scouting and picture taking of the different areas that we can pick from. I’m getting pumped up for this Hunt in November

Your a lucky man, do your homework by scouting a couple days before hand. GOOD LUCK! Thank you. My plan is to go to LaSalle during my off day during the week to get information about everything I need to know and then during the weekends scout ,scout and scout. I have my hunting party of 3 . A buddy of mine who I took with me the first time I was picked 3 years ago, my Sister and me

On Facebook I belong to Northern Indiana Waterfowl Hunting. On that page a person was looking to get back into Waterfowl Hunting and was looking for a partner instead what he found was a group of us looking for a partner as well . It actually turns out that a few Men in this group are Veterans from Iraqi and Afghanistan wars . So now we have our own group of Hunters who have been chatting about everything since last Thursday night. We All have at least one thing in common. There’s about 6 of us in this group. They live about a 2 hour drive from me but who cares. I think one might live about a hour away from me. I’m actually pumped for this upcoming Waterfowl Season.
