Me and Mitch went out to Ogden Bay this morning to find some ducks. We had an idea where some might be, (mostly because my Dad hunted their yesterday). We got set up and had a pretty nice shoot. We ended with 9 ducks between us. Jax did a really good job retrieving them. He is really starting to be a good dog. You might notice that there is a goose in the picture. It is pretty rare for me to shoot a goose, let alone one on the bird refuge. There was this lone goose that had been flying around for like 10 minutes. This bird obviously didn't know where to go. I decided to start blowing my goose call. This dang goose started to circle us. We didn't have any goose decoys and the mojo was running. He circled probably seven or eight times, losing a little altitude each round. Then finally he swung wide and made his descent. He came about 30 yards right in front of us and we unloaded on him. This goose was not going to get away. Pretty cool, but pretty crappy to carry for 2 miles. It was a really fun hunt though.
