Really good morning, winds just right but in a field with zero cover, we flagged but they seemed to flare on it ,,,,,not once did we use a goose call. Did birds flare from us ,,,,,YES,,,,,,Did birds fly around us ,,,,,YES,,,,,did birds hit the pocket....Hell YA.

That’s awesome! I didn’t get to shoot any birds this season. By the time I had some time for it, the birds were gone

I do have to share with you...


my newly deaf dog...... is still useful in the goose patch. She had a great day... including one 1-2K retrieve of a cripple!

Just talking about finding a hunt. I wasn't able to get my 16 year old son out this fall for lots of reasons. But I would love him to get out on a goose hunt be fore christmas.
between his school, hockey and work and my work its been one busy fall. I told his Mom I would yank him out of school for a day if I had to before Christmas. She is all good with it.
Let me know guys if you have room for 2 guys that can't shoot, but show up on time with Coffee from Tims.

It looks like you guys had some fun!
Thanks
Jamie

Are you guys in the south end of Alberta? Haven't seen any birds in over two weeks! Looking forward to next fall and getting out bird hunting.
