Goose Down!

I was able to find a few geese in a field right before it closed for the split.  I text my dad and he said he could make it the next morning so that was the plan.  Arrived at the field, set out my dozen GHG FFD Lessers and got hid under burlap. 


Not too long later, here came the geese.  We were patient and let them circle a few times.  They finally came in wide and started landing about 60 yards out.  I grabbed the flag and started flapping it like crazy.  It kept about half the flock from landing and they circled right back to us and gave us a great shot.  I missed my first but hit my other two shots.  Todd hit his first and connected.  Three out of one flock is pretty good for us.  Can't wait to do it again.
