- Well, I've just had what I'm pretty sure was my first
- experience with Anti's and/or their results. I'm a member of a private
- lake, east of Broomfield, that has pretty good goose hunting on it. My
- partner had a custom- designed and built blind that was an extravagant
- affair that he had invested quite a bit of labor and wood in. It was
- somewhat portable, and we had spent 3 days, earlier, refurbishing it
- and putting it up at our lake. I went out Monday morning to find it,
- and 2 of the other 3 blinds on the lake, burned to the ground! The
- other 2 blinds were cattail and hay bale blinds, and probably burned
- up/down pretty quickly. However, ours was comprised of 2X4's, 4X4's,
- and plywood. As there were hunters and ice-fisherman on the lake all
- day Sunday, this all happened sometime Sunday night. For this much
- wood to burn so hot and fast, it was probably fueled by a goodly
- amount of gasoline. While we've reported it to the club officers and
- the local Sherrif's dept., none of it gives quite the satisfaction
- that I know we'd have if we had caught the bastard(s) ourselves.
- One side note... I'm happy to say that they still failed in
- their attempt to kill our hunting. Quite the contrary. Two guys from
- one of the other burned blinds joined me and we just hid in the
- willows and weeds on the shore next to my still-smoldering blind.
- Three of us and Hershey, (the Chocolate-Mallard-Muncher), hiding in
- the weeds.... and we got our 9-bird limit by 10:30. Without doubt, one
- of the best decoying days I've ever seen.
-
- Definitely a first experience for me!
