Some of the guys from our office had a little luck this morning - 46 :)

Sorry to hear that the goose hunting was a bust. We didn't do as well as I was hoping but I can't complain. The birds didn't want to come and give us close shots but we were still able to shoot a fair number. I was able to pull a double on a group of 3 with one of the other guys knocking down the third bird. Shot the DH 10 ga with 1 1/4oz #2 nice shot. As long as I did my part the birds dropped.

Jeez, those honkers look like turkeys compared to the lesser Cans we see up here.

Destry's pacing the floor waiting for a new squeeze to drop by at the moment, I just got off the phone with him. Congrats to all the goose hunters!

Well a man has to do something to keep himself entertained when his shooting plans go awry.......

P.S. to Kurt: I've had early season geese act that way before as well. I credit it to the fact that they're still in pretty strong family groups which makes them not want to handle like later fall flocks will do.

Boy, those geese as well as the hunters look great, we had opening day for doves here in Kansas and it looked like it was going to be a bust. We have had so much cool weather that the
doves have pretty much gone south. (early) The last hour before sundown things picked up around a water hole but it was pretty slim pickens. jvb

I think that if we would have set up in the middle of the field where they had been feeding and used ground blinds we probably would have done much better. They didn't want to come over top of the decoys at all. Maybe the heavy dew and shiny decoys had them second guessing and it woudn't have mattered. Anyway, they seemed to be too smart for opening day birds...

The Indiana dove season has been a bust also. The cold weather has moved most of the doves south already. I didn't even bother to go out this morning to hunt over the sunflowers. It is the worst opener ever.
