Hearing those wings rip just above the tree tops and then beating the limbs as they flap down and splash into the water. I had a big group come in off to my side. I was so mesmerized I forgot to shoot.
Nice! I rang in the new year with my 10 year old this morning... Not too many ducks around this morning, but enough geese to keep him busy for a couple hours. He tells me, “Dad, these geese are big and they fly slow so I can hit them... I think I’m just going to goose hunt for the rest of the morning.”
Yeah, he’s a good one. My first bird of the year and the only one I shot today... Wouldn’t trade the hunt that I had today with the kid for anything, but I’d trade 100 sprig like him for a mallard hunt in the timber like @Sam Ortmann had today.
