Last day of Early Goose Season
Well pretty much this week hasn't held great results for me or my brother. We've hunted both weekends and also did some night time flights on the weekdays. We've been waiting for our corn fields to get taken off becuase then all the local geese start coming into it but since it didnt get taken off till last wednesday we've been hopeful this weekend they'd start to come in. Well saturday rolled around and only saw two flocks fly by, some flagging and calling got a single to split off from the flock and cup and come right in. At about 20 yards it somehow dodged all three of my shots and swearing ensued and one frustated hunter was cranky for the rest of the day.
This morning I set up again and not a single honk or sighting of a goose occured. I figured this was probably the worst early season to date. But then my brother got home from Birch Bay and we decided just for fun to set up again for another afternoon hunt. 2 Laydown blinds, 13 GhG fullbodies and a couple cupped and commited flocks equaled to a nice haul.
We got two a piece and now for the next 2 weeks we'll get to watch over 300 geese land and sit in our corn fields becuase it'll be inbewteen seasons. I cant think of a better way to end the early season then finally crushing some big ol' honkers.
1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
