I am disappointed to say that I haven't been hunting in a month. This has been one of the hardest waterfowl seasons for me ever. Weird weather, school, and work have all made it a little tougher to be successful. I did make a last minute decision on Friday though. I called up Mitch and Ryan Stratford at about 1:30; we were in the field by 2:30. I knew the geese had been in there and needed to give it a shot. We set up and it was obvious that these were local birds. They knew exactly what was going on. We kept having to change things up until finally we figured out a way to get birds close enough to shoot. We had action the entire time, but only had two groups we fired into. They weren't ideal shots but that was as good as we were going to get on this day. It was really fun to make it back out before the season closes.
