BilletHead Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Last day of the 2022 -2023 goose season. I don't do the snow goose damage control hunting. Had two spots to choose from. Decided the small pond where I got the banded geese. I was in no hurry to get there so took my time. Set six floaters and a few full bodies on the bank. Grassed the lay out blind and parked the truck in a tree row. By the time I got back to the pond mallards were dumping in. Scared them off and watched more in and out. Windy and this made the floaters look alive. To the east I could hear the roost pond getting noisy. The geese there were getting antsy to fly out wherever they were wanting to go. I was long necking it out the top of the blind watching the daylight starting to appear. Out of the corner of my vision I caught sight of four canadas low bee lining it to the pond, correction that would be goose lining it towards me. They were silent not a squawk as they set wings and glided into me and bang, bang two down. For the next 45 minutes flights of geese left roost heading north. Not my way. An hour to the minute from the first two a highflyer single making lots of noise veered my way. I called and it cupped from on high and like an elevator dropped at ten yards in front of me almost crashing into a decoy. It long necked looking around and like a turkey I shot it in the head. Teh last day is always bittersweet for me. Missed hunting with friends this season. Just never got good enough for that here. Did not get Pat out as much as either one of us would have liked. Next year maybe.

One of the farmers that we hunt on told me I wasn't doing my job shooting enough. Said he was going to fire me and find someone who would. 🤣. Seriously he really did. Called me a slaker.

Hate to admit it but this winter for some reason the gumption train left without me. I'm getting with it now. Looking forward to Spring. The idol mind is the devil's workshop.
