Snow Geese

Ty was as excited as I was when I brought home these snow geese. I had never hunted them before. My brother in law and I went to our spot and tried some intereted tactics. One of them involved underwear and a lucky duck. We were watching in awe as the canadians were buzzing around us at a range of 10 ft. We didn't know what to expect for the snow geese. We finally saw some and tried to sneak up on them, which didn't work. We covered ourselves with a painters drop cloth and waited in the spot were we spooked them. About a half hour later the sounds got deafening and the the sky turned black. I think our "tactics" scared them away again. I moved to a different spot and waited. Soon they were back again. I had a plug in my gun and was able to shoot 3 geese as they came in. A half hour later they were back and I dropped 2. We waited around for a couple of hours and they never came back. It was a blast to hunt these beautiful birds. I have been able to use a lot of these feathers to tie flies. I hope I have the opportunity to get into these birds again!


TY AND I
GOOD LOOKING BIRDS
