Dakota Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Last Saturday (opener for geese), my buddy and I went pass shooting around the area. There are about 300 resident Canadians between the Tea, Lennox and Sioux Falls area and a good portion of them were flying back and forth between a flooded bean field and a cattle pasture with three farm ponds. I had asked for permission on the place earlier that week and the lady said ever so politely that if it wasn't for her sons and grandsons that I could definitely hunt (so no...lol). Well, my buddy and I pass shoot in the area Saturday morning and see the guys drop several birds. We get one too but, when we drive by the area again, the guys are gone and two birds floating belly-up and unclaimed! Well, my buddy, a mutual friend and myself drive by again this morning and spot a cripple that's been hanging around for the entire week! So, we pull up and I politely ask for permission to finish off the bird. She says yes and we shoot the bird. So that's three birds that went unclaimed and two are spoiled. I just CAN'T STAND unresponsible hunters! Because of the dead birds no other geese want to land there and they have moved off. We are having the hardest time finding them considering the migration hasn't started. I'm just ticked. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yeah there's not much sense in killing them if you're not going to pick them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
