Cold Morning Geese

Ryan Stratford called me on Wednesday night and said he had found a few geese in a field and had secured permission to hunt it the next day.  The weather was kind of crappy and it threw the geese off a bit.  We had a few flocks fly by the field but nothing really gave us a good look.  We finally had one flock that was shootable.  We managed 2.  Fun morning but can't wait to get a few more.

Pheasant Hunt 2013

This was the by far the hardest pheasant I have had since I started.  Birds were harder to come by and I couldn't seem to hit the ones I found.  I finally ended with 2 the last week.  I had to quit a little early because Chase's scrotum was messed up from running through the phrag.  Once it heals up I'll have to finally get him neutered.
