What Would You Do?
Today was the last day of the Ohio goose season. It was bitter cold in the early morning but the scouting report touted hundreds of birds were gathering at a small pond in the middle of a corn field. I met Scott at Big E’s house at 5:30 am for the short drive to the corn field. I try to hunt every last day of a season I can. I have come to expect extraordinary things to happen on the last day. As we approached the pond we could hear the nervous chatter of more than 300 geese! Last night they decided roost on the pond and were keeping the water open. It’s 20 minutes til daylight, crystal clear skies and we’re in the middle of the corn field 150 yards out. The birds are nervous and know we are there. All of our gear is still loaded on the 4 wheeler.
If, you had been there and were calling the shots what strategy would you have employed?
