I didn't make it out. I ended up assisting my daughter with her Halloween costume. Then I saw that same buck and does on the hill so we did a little stalk on them. She loved it. By the time we cam back down it was time to go to school.

I am going to do some scouting for deer this weekend and I have a definate plan for some goose hunting on Wednesday with my father in law.

Post by: Kioti on November 02, 2012, 06:14:48 AM: I been seeing tons of geese and ducks flying over up here. I have seen huge flocks of geese land in the corn fields right next to us.
Not too much into hunting ducks and geese...as I raise them and I can have duck or goose any time... :chuckle:
