Geez, I expected to get on here this morning and hear all about everyones' successes of Saturday.. Prudy quiet.
We went out with Marc and Johnnybear yesterday to a field John has scouted and got permission on only to find someone else setting up. So....we set up across the field figuring they push/we push. It worked out to some degree, but for whatever reason only a goose brain can figure the birds really, really wanted to go to the side we weren't. We ended up downing 4 birds and then it was Dullsville for quite a spell. I suggested we go and have breakfast as I had a CORE exam to do just after lunch. Of course, no sooner were we almost all packed up to go and the geese start pouring in. There were waves of cacklers and big ones. Oh, well...there were kids in the group across the way and we saw they got a few, so that is great for them, like it when kids have fun out in the field.
Four is fine, easy plucking. Johnnybear "popped his goose cherry" as he referred to it. So, I think we may have hooked another waterfowler :)
Great meeting Johnnybear, hope he'll join us again sometime.
And...I know this post is pictureless...they forgot to take out the camera before the feathers.
