Early
morning gave us a heavy, push of dark geese. Canada's and Whitefronts! They were, almost constant in the skies from just minutes
before sunrise to around 10:00.
But did have flocks throughout the day. Also there was tons of ducks.
Shortly after 8:00 we had about 40 all white geese. Most were Ross's but two or three Snows. We had three in on us very good but
passed, because the boss thought we would get the whole flock in, for a better
shot. Did have a loner Snow come
in, and they got it. But
that has been the only shot so far today. Even though the harvesting is very little, the viewing
has been so good, with the Can's and ducks,.
I had to
go to town for propane, late morning.
While gone the crew took a trio from a flock and then took another
loaner.
The 12:08 flight was late and then took their time coming
in. Our shot was 12:22, what a
show they gave us coming in. No
corn shucking, but their sailing back and forth, wings so stiff, as they
checked everything out. Each go
around they drop just a few yards.
Our shot was a little tall but no one complained. We more that double the kill. Forgot,
to say we picked up, a great wind.
About 12-15 MPH made those birds, able to Stand still up there. That is so pretty, and exciting.
I come in early, had a pretty good work out, for this, old
and recovering body today. Walked
the path three times, and believe me it is rough on me this spring. Left some hunter out there so the final
number in the bag is still an unknown yet.
Please say a prayer for our troops tonight and every
night. Check back if you can
See ya.
Carl
