Thought I'd post some pics from my third hunt. After my good success on my first hunt, I did get to go out with some friends for hunt #2, but we only got a few geese that day but plenty of partridge. Forgot the camera phone that morning...was a little hung over.
But hunt #3 was a great success. It was over quick which is good and bad. Last Friday was out in a swathed barley field on RR 285. Multiple flocks were going there daily. I guess thats the best advise of all....SPOTTING! Watch where they are feeding a couple of nights before and you'll do great. The wind was the same every day for a week which made it easy. It was litterally like shooting them in a barrel.
The pics are the greatest but in the first couple is an example of the spread. Used a small tight W formation with my back to the wind. I notcied at this time of year smaller tighter groups are better.
This was taken after I was done. I was fetching one that I shot and a pair landed right by my spread, you can see one landing in the middle of the pic.
And this one, you can make out a single standing at the back of the pic, that is one that landed. I was less than 100 yards away. Geese are flying everywhere (it was about 8:30).
Shot limit in about 30 minutes of shooting.
So three hunts, had 12 geese in the freezer. Not bad I guess. Spent all weekend making 19 lbs of jerky. Hopefully that will last for deer and fishing season. BTW: two of the geese I shot the last hunt were the biggest I've ever seen. They must have been 40 - 45 lbs each. Couldn't believe it.
