Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:19 pmLooks like my glorious Sunday hunt was followed by a day off at the laundry mat. Thank God they sell good beer here.
No pictures with the feet propped up yet. Hopefully a good sign Jim.

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:26 pmLet the waiting begin. Usually they don't come over until about 7:30, but the storm might have screwed them up. Didn't want to risk it.

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:28 pmTurning in to a particularly goosey evening. Very low overcast, should keep them down out of the stratosphere, which is good, because I have two real ponds with real farm geese on them about 400 yards in both directions.
Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:33 pmDammit Assa you better light them up. I'm itching to get after real birds after yesterday's warm up with the pup on dove. No way to cope now

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:40 pmIf they show, I'm emptying the gun. Period. Wish I had a mag extension.

Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:40 pmWTH!!! Is that a piece of plastic? Is that cloth with pictures of corn on it? WTH you thinking? It does kinda look like water run off. Are you nuts? And put it on a public forum! You the man!

Re: Here Goes Nothing

You might as well stay and hunt, no conservation officer is going to write that stuff down!

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:47 pmassa , You can go 5 over safely stick it out
Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 7:48 pmNo gooses. For our early season, we get a half hour after sunset, so it's basically dark anyway. Trying again tomorrow. And Wednesday. And Thursday. But Friday is bow opener.
Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:00 pmNothing even moving??
Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:08 pmHad 3 doves fly over, but saw no geese anywhere. We had some insane storms roll through up until about 4:30 or so, so that may have messed them up a bit. They'll be back. Much to my wife's chagrin, I left them up in the pasture, and ran a few step-ins across to keep the horses out. Looks like a goose diorama in a museum or something
Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:11 pmCome up to NY assa. Tonight was the first time I've ever done the evening hunt for goose. Ive always done the morning field hunts. We set up on the St. Lawrence right off the State Hospital where all the geese hang out during early season. Put 12 floaters out and within a minute or two of calling we started pulling them to the roost. Ended up with 16 between 4 of us. Did I mention we were in a bass boat in shorts, bare feet and tshirts? No blind or cover. Dumb geese.
Cleaned them all up and just got done eating the last one shot. 1 hour from flying, to in my belly. Yum.

Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 9:12 pmGreat job Eric, sounds like one hell of a time. I bet 80% of the geese we shoot are on water, that is why I like warm winters, last year kicked ass. I like shooting them feet down on the water, but the splash is awesome when they fall from 30+ yards.

Re: Here Goes Nothing
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 10:00 pmTomorrow I may try sitting in a lawn chair in the spread and toss wood chips out when I see some geese coming. I'm about 3/4 serious, but give me some time. It could go either way, and these are park geese I'm hunting after all.
