Well since nobody from IDO want to join us today, we thought we would get some guys together see see what would happen. The morning started cool with temps around 31. NW wind blowing 15-20 and snow flurries. We were hunting a bean field just south of a corn field that has been used by over 1000 geese for the last few days.
Another shot of the other 10 dozen
The first single swung right in and we took it at about 10 yards. After getting rid of the goose egg, we shot another single. Then the flocks stated coming and we worked a lot of birds.
A limit, 24 big geese
Flock after flock came mostly from the north and we had several good chances. We worked and could have shot several different pairs and singles while trying to get the bigger flocks to commit.
Happy hunters!
One flock did it right and squared us perfectly. Lets just say the shooting was not the best. I think me along with some others had not shot in our shells. It took us until 10:00 ti fill our limit. We did get checked by the DNR and the officer said he had seem several new high flocks coming into town from the north. Est bird count right now is around 18-20,000 birds in town. With temps cooling down and cool NW winds, there should be more and more bird migrating in.
Until next time, good hunting and shoot often.
