Goose 'Hunt'

After working last Saturday's football game my boss Aaron said we should try a poke at some geese at one a pond he had permission on. This is the same property I acquired the very large cedar that I have been turning into tables. The plan was simple. Walk to pond, wait until legal light, shoot geese when they get off the water. simple...ish. There were way more on the water than I thought we would see at all. Steve and I walked around the back side of the pond and Aaron was walking the edge to push them towards us. Four minutes until legal a large flock flew within yards and dropped into the water with the rest. We all knew where we could and could not shoot as a plan was devised before we even left. Legal light came and we moved in. Of course, the geese went out the back side. We were still able to get one each between the three of us.  After some well placed finishing shots, we worked on goose retrieval. As none of us brought a dog, and the pond was too deep even for waders, we had the next best thing; fishing rod, treble hook, and a half ounce of lead. Great morning out.

Stay Tuned, It's only going to get better.
