This years waterfowl hunt flew by like a Teal through the decoys.  I was only able to get out a handful of times before it was to late.  This season started out awesome with a great opener at FB and finished off with a crazy goose hunt in my backyard.

 Like the opener, I spent the last days of the hunt with my hunting buddy Brandon Carter,  his dad (Bob) and friend Rob.  I had gotten word from my little brother that geese had been flying into our families fields every morning, so I had to set something up before we missed our window. The plan was set and at 6:30 the following morning found us out in the freezing morning air setting up goose decoys and fixing our blinds.  The morning didn’t go exactly as planned, we hoped the at the geese would start flying in around 8 am, but by 9 am we had only been teased by 3 loners who didn’t give use the time of day. As the sun came out and the cold January breeze tried to push us out of our blinds and back to our warm trucks, we heard a faint honk that all waterfowlers know well. (And can’t get out of there heads)  Game on I though! For the next 2 hours we were graced by flocks of honkers looking over our spread, giving us the wing and a few locking up.  We were rewarded, but the real measure of success was the experiences that we will each take away and learn from this outing.  I know in the future I will sit back with my hunting buddies and recount this experience and laugh at the birds that turned away and the shots that were missed. Not to mention the ghost geese that come out of the fog when you least expect them. It was a crazy end to a great beginning!
