Thats Why I Got Up Early Today

Finally.

5:06 am just is too early for my tastes. There are only a few things that will drag me out of be that early in the morning and one of them is if my house is on fire. Well, luckily that didn't happen today. It was the other reason that I get up that early in the morning... Hunting.

For the past 2 weeks, PGA and I have been meeting out at FMD's horse barn attempting to make the early goose season productive. We'd been blanked for the first 12 days, but lucky number 13 came along and today we got our goose.

A lone goose dropped out of the flock and landed about 50 yards out on the pond we were sitting next to. We managed to cripple it and a "wild goose chase" ensued but in the end, the great white hunter prevailed.

Though I was late to work this morning because I had to clean the thing, but it was worth it. Not so worth it that I'm going out again tomorrow morning, but worth going out on Saturday so I can stay out later that 7 am!

I wish I could say it was more that pure luck that helped us get our goose because we did no calling or anything what-so-ever. We were standing there talking with our guns off to the side. (S)He just sat there and honked at us once he landed. Oh well. Fun times.

Now on to something amazing. I found this today on my duck hunting forum (www.refugeforums.com) and think it is pretty amazing... Check it out!
