Late Goose Season
This week was the opener of the late goose season, and my brother Darryl called a few days ago to see if I could make it out with him and my brother Randy. I didn’t have a license, and when I inquired as to the cost I was kind of in shock. I think I was going to need at least three different stamps/licenses, and I couldn’t justify it for one day of laying on my back in a corn field. If I would of bought one earlier in the year, where I could of gotten some use out of it, I would of went.
Anyway I called him the other day to see how they did, and he said they should of limited out, but only dropped four of the giant Canadians! Both brothers have a Cabela’s duck/goose ground blind, which sure beats laying on the cold ground. He put out three or four dozen decoys, and said geese started flying around 10:00 A.M. and didn’t quit till around 4:30 in the afternoon. Of course he rubbed it in a little by saying a third gun would of helped add to the tally! Maybe when they come out with some kind of little heater in those blinds I’ll get more excited about it.
Anyway they took some nice pictures, but I haven’t got my hands on them yet. When I do I’ll post them. Tomorrow I’m going to check out a spot to do some fox/coyote hunting, as soon as we get some snow back on the ground. You guys up north should have plenty of snow cover to hunt down some varmints, along with a few rabbits.
Just a note about my stray cat situation! Ever since I wrote the blog about them; they have disappeared. Maybe someone else took action-I hope!
