I've been hunting ducks now for about 4 years, a couple of mornings a year and have bagged 3.
I always wanted to try goose hunting but could never get all the pieces into play.
A few weeks ago, I was visiting my uncles farm and noticed a pile of geese in a fresh cut oat field. After getting permission from him to hunt there, I got all my gear in line (the 7 goose decoys I own) and set out for the opener last week. Saw some birds flying over, but none came in.
Last night, went back again, as I was told that the night before, " the field was black with them ". However, still no dice.
This morning, I came back. Saw a couple of larger flocks flying off water about 700 yards away but none came my way. Typical me luck I thought. About an hour later, 2 birds came swinging by. Only one made it past me!!
Bagged my first goose.
I can now say, I'm addicted beyond belief.
No, I didn't shoot him with the bow, but thought if I got the chance at one with my Martin that it'd be neat!
