My first honker

[seth30]

thanks!  Finally took sky busting out of my game, and look what I got

 

Good for you getting it mounted, got my first Honker several years ago and it went in the oven, now I'm hooked on geese.    What did the pups think of it?  I sent my pouch after his first honker earlier this year in a field. He ran to it then stopped and looked at me for a second then grabbed the bird by the neck and drug it to me.  It was kind of funny, I think the size confused him.  Since then he doesn't hesitate to pick them up.  it was a decent sized one to.

Nice bird by the way, looks like your dog wants to retrive him again

Alright had a great weekend, got some geese on Saturday, but could only retreive one of them.  The area I was hunting had about 2 acres of driftwood, and I couldnt walk to the goose due to the depth, and my dogs couldnt swim through it Got one of the geese though, and as soon as I can figure out how to send a text to my email with non internet phone I will.  I shot a mallard this morning over the goose decoys.  This is the last weekend that I get to hunt, and it was by far my best.  Thanks to Upwind, Hillbilly, and washelkhnter thank you for helping me learn the ropes, and taking me with you on my first waterfowl season! WCtaxidermy, thank's for all the tips on how to handle a bird that I want to taxi, and Skybuster thank you for lending me your decoys This website is more than just a forum, there is some really kick a@# guys and gals that are very helpful, and great mentors and hunting buddies!! Here are some pics from the water fowl season.

Gotta love hunting those geese.

[seth30]

yes geese are a little more exiciting to hunt than ducks.   My philosophy is if it flies it dies

[seth30]

alright figured it out, here is the pics from my cellphone, sorry for the quality.
