Yesterday wasn't quite the same as Saturday, the geese were even tougher to decoy. I quit the field at 11:30 and we only had 10 on the ground, nearly all passing shots.
One of the other boys did get a banded bird which is always nice to see. This is the first season in 7 years I've not killed at least one band myself. I've seen three shot and was on a trip where another was killed but nothing new on my lanyard.
I left and drove down to Wallaceburg for lunch with Nathan and to see all the other folks down there. I don't get over much in the spring and summer so wanted one more visit. It's officially over till September 1st, it sorta breaks the heart a bit......
