This year marked our 1st ever Southern Colorado Youth Waterfowl hunt. Due to prior commitments with either 4-H or Football, many of the youths invited were unable to make the Saturday hunt. So, we ended up with 2 hunters and 4 mentors for the morning. Joining us for the hunt would be: Ira (8 and a 1st time goose hunter) Kelley (14 and also a 1st timer)
Leon (Ira’s dad)
Scott (my brother and partner in all things waterfowl)
Roy (Scott and I’s dad)
The icing on the cake for this one was the fact that, for the 1st time, we had 3 generations from my family in the field….I was excited to say the least!
We spent a good portion of Friday afternoon and evening going over the “rules” with the youngsters and then finished off the day with some trap shooting and practice in the layouts.Saturday morning found us in the one place I LOVE to be, a freshly cut cornfield! Both boys were a huge help in getting the decoys’ set and in putting the “finishing touches” on the layout blinds. The birds were both early and plentiful that morning with a large number of geese coming into the spread well before legal shooting light and then making their way on to an adjacent (and hunter free) field. The first bird hit the ground at a little after 7, with two more on the ground by 8. As an added bonus, one of them was nice enough to bring a band for one of the youngsters.We ended the day with 3 birds total, a lot of smiles and, 2 new goose hunting addicts!!This was my 1st experience with the youth season in S. Colorado and I gotta say, I can’t wait to do it again next year!!
Thanks, Jason

Words from our last clients of the season:
Wow guys, What a way to end the season hunting with Atkinsons Expeditions ( www.atkinsonexpeditions.com ) . His guides, Travis, Chris, Craig and dogs – Remington and Trip did a great job and worked hard. Toward the end of the last day we had 5 geese come in and 4 geese fell. We counted only 3 when all was said and done Why? - One goose that a dog brought in got up and took off. We just stood their dumbfounded but actually it is pretty funny when we think about it.
Over all we shot 55 geese or so though we lost a few. No bands but maybe next time. We saw a ton of Snows and Canadas. Great for our last hurrah of the season!
BRING ON THE SNOWS

Jan. 1-6 was a fun time for several father/son and father/daughter teams (like the one above!) who traipsed to our beautiful setting in southeast Kansas for the late doe season. All had a fantastic experience while helping us manage the deer populations there. Our focus at the Kansas cabin now turns to predator and waterfowl hunters! Calling all waterfowl hunters: Kansas is super-hot right now - five to ten thousand snow geese landing in our fields every day, and Canadas besides. If you’ve got the itch, call us!

We had consistent duck hunting until our ponds froze and now we will be concentrating on our warm water slews and fields for the Mallards. The goose hunting has been as good as it gets the last week or so. With limits being the norm and happy hunters all the way around. We just finished out Hunting Down Cancer hunt. All of the proceeds from the hunt are donated to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We hunted with Avery Pro-Staffer Doug Steinke and his crew. The hunting was fantastic and a great day was had by all. Look for this hunt on the 2008 DVD Migration Madness. We have been getting excellent footage for this new DVD. Doug also took some fantastic action shots of the hunt and they will be posted in the picture section as soon as possible. Doug is a very talented photographer and we are very pleased to have his pictures on our site.
Dates are filling fast for the remainder of the season. Don’t wait until it’s too late to book your prime date for your next outing. Feel free to contact T&G Outdoors or Atkinson Expeditions to book your prime date and have the trip of a lifetime!
