Guest cnymike Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 it was opening morning in ny and the weather up here sucks. all my hunting partners saw the weather and bailed! is there anyone out there who is as crazy as i am, and will hunt in any weather. isn't it better to hunt geese in overcast and rain? doesn't the wind help keep the geese in the shooting zone longer. am i just crazy? wasn't happy missing opening morning. i think its time to find some new waterfowl partners. just got into it last season and i am hooked. I don't get many mornings to hunt and my time is limited due to a nagging wife and 3 kids. if i say i'm going, I'm going! anyone else out there having the same problems as me? as you all know it isn't as much fun to hunt geese by yourself, and in NY it's only a 3 bird limit. so i spent and hour setting up to drop three birds in the first flock down. and was home for breakfast. wife was happy, but i was frustrated with my partners. no one else took the time to learn to call, set up spreads, buy decoys and blinds, or scout!

clayman Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: fair weather hunters!!!!! My favorite is FOG. It's easy to get a headache from straining to see the birds, but when you do see them, they're CLOSE. I don't care to duck hunt in the fog so much, but goose hunting is a blast. You hear the honking and sqwacking coming towards you, you're scanning as much as you can until they finally come into view and then, they're usually within 30 feet.
