Default Sunday's goose shoot.

A few pictures of the morning shoot. The first big group that came in we had about 60 birds land in the decoys. Only ended up getting 13 from that group; and got 30 total for the morning. Thought I would post some picture of the decoys my buddy has; Drop zone and Dave Smith.

Sounds like a good shoot, CONGRATS!
DS are a sweet looking decoy, but alittle to pricey for me.

Congrats on a good goose hunt.
13 birds down in one flock is pretty impressive. How shooters did you have?

What kind of blinds are you using? We had about a thousand geese fly over Friday night and again Saturday morning, but they weren't buying what we were selling.

Also wondering about how you managed to hide yourselves in that field. We had geese coming in well a few weeks ago, but flared once close to the coffin blinds.

Holy sheep poop! That means at least 3 of you shot triples and nobody double up on the same bird. Good shootin.
Even when we shoot our zones somebody always doubles up on the same bird as someone else.
