It was a dark & foggy night

[TARNATION !!!]

Well, it wasn't yet dark, nor was it night but it sure was foggy. We get fog when the weather conditions are just right. It's as thick as what can roll in off the Atlantic coast but all we have here is oceans of wheat.

So why the hunting thread??

I took CHARLIE and KYRA for their evening run in the country. Visibility was maybe 70-80 yards. We were in familiar territory, so that was no issue. The Canada geese were calling all around us but none could be seen. I knew some would be feeding in this area and that some would be on the creek and others would be flying by.

I got to thinking about how Destry might enjoy this kind of evening and the thought had no sooner passed through my mind than a flight of 8 Canada's winged through the fog right past us. The sight lasted maybe ten seconds, maybe less. Range? About ten Parker's height off the ground and maybe twenty Parker's out.

I haven't bothered the geese for years but tonight was one of those moments when it certainly could have been fun. Who knows, an elusive doubles pin?

So, posted for the migratory fans. Back to planning the next upland hunt.

Cheers,
Jack
