StillLearnin Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 This is my first goose and man was it exciting. I scouted the area hard, practically had the farmer beg me to hunt his field. I practice my calls alot but it did not help because as soon as the first flock was locked up about 75 yards I had forgotten everything and I know I sounded terrible. Well I had two flocks come in and circle they were in range but I wanted to wait till they had their landing gear down before I shot and they got wise and left before that happened! So the third flock came in as I was running short on time (I was hunting in the evening since that is when I scouted and thats when they used the field) when the last flock got in range I dropped this guy with the first shot. Nothing beets watching waterfowl coming into your spread!!! I love it!! This guy had about a five foot span. I wish now that I had a pic holding both wings out.

Dakota Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Re: My 2005 Goose That's a good 'un right there! Looks like a female 'cuz of the thinner neck, I could be wrong though. My 2004 honker was fun to shoot. Huntin some ditches an' a flock of about 14 come flying low over the harvested corn field through the morning mist. Dad an' I open fire at 'bout 30 yards away an' 20 feet up. He shoots twice and my single shot belches BBB's once. Nothin' falls! We keep watching for a few seconds and then, the big gander I was aiming at wobbled and fell into the corn field. That gander was huge! At least 10lbs. and thick necked, I had a hard time holding him up. I was 5' at that time and the goose's legs almost touched the ground! Congrats on the good lookin' bird ya got there! gobbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palssonater Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: My 2005 Goose Right on! It's amazing what you forget when you got a group of those big boys lined up for a landing.
