Here Goes Nothing

UniCorn and the plond, ready to go. If I kill anything, you'll hear about it. If you don't, I'm hanging my head in shame.

by **assateague** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 3:24 pm

One more

by **Flightstopper** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 3:28 pm

I've been waiting for this! Good luck brother :beer:

by **OGblackcloud** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 3:37 pm

Good luck

by **Olly** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 3:39 pm

I'm betting you'll have success. Good luck!

Looks great, I hope it works out for you.

by **jehler** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 4:29 pm

There is no way that wont work. If not today, it will later.

by **Flightstopper** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:19 pm

Looks like my glorious Sunday hunt was followed by a day off at the laundry mat. Thank God they sell good beer here.

No pictures with the feet propped up yet. Hopefully a good sign Jim.

Let the waiting begin. Usually they don't come over until about 7:30, but the storm might have screwed them up. Didn't want to risk it.

Turning in to a particularly goosey evening. Very low overcast, should keep them down out of the stratosphere, which is good, because I have two real ponds with real farm geese on them about 400 yards in both directions.

by **Flightstopper** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:33 pm

Dammit Assa you better light them up. I'm itching to get after real birds after yesterday's warm up with the pup on dove. No way to cope now

by **assateague** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:40 pm

If they show, I'm emptying the gun. Period. Wish I had a mag extension.

by **assateague** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:43 pm

I effed up not bringing some 7.5.

by **jarbo03** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:17 pm

I am ready to see some kill pics over the plond.

WTH!!! Is that a piece of plastic? Is that cloth with pictures of corn on it? WTH you thinking? It does kinda look like water run off. Are you nuts? And put it on a public forum! You the man!

by **Flightstopper** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:41 pm

HAHAHA! You have some learning to do about what happens on these forums

by **assateague** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:43 pm

10 minutes left, nothing flying yet. But the next 5 minutes looks good :lol:

You might as well stay and hunt, no conservation officer is going to write that stuff down!

by **OGblackcloud** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:47 pm

assa , You can go 5 over safely stick it out

by **assateague** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 7:48 pm

No gooses. For our early season, we get a half hour after sunset, so it's basically dark anyway. Trying again tomorrow. And Wednesday. And Thursday. But Friday is bow opener.

by **Flightstopper** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:00 pm

Nothing even moving??

by **assateague** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:08 pm

Had 3 doves fly over, but saw no geese anywhere. We had some insane storms roll through up until about 4:30 or so, so that may have messed them up a bit. They'll be back. Much to my wife's chagrin, I left them up in the pasture, and ran a few step-ins across to keep the horses out. Looks like a goose diorama in a museum or something :lol:

Come up to NY assa. Tonight was the first time I've ever done the evening hunt for goose. Ive always done the morning field hunts. We set up on the St. Lawrence right off the State Hospital where all the geese hang out during early season. Put 12 floaters out and within a minute or two of calling we started pulling them to the roost. Ended up with 16 between 4 of us. Did I mention we were in a bass boat in shorts, bare feet and tshirts? No blind or cover. Dumb geese.

Cleaned them all up and just got done eating the last one shot. 1 hour from flying, to in my belly. Yum.

On the water geese are the bomb, gotta love that splash

by **jarbo03** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 9:12 pm

Great job Eric, sounds like one hell of a time.

I bet 80% of the geese we shoot are on water, that is why I like warm winters, last year kicked ass. I like shooting them feet down on the water, but the splash is awesome when they fall from 30+ yards.

I honestly prefer the 30 yard thud onto dry land:o

Exactly what I was thinking... exactly.

Looks great Jim.

Tomorrow I may try sitting in a lawn chair in the spread and toss wood chips out when I see some geese coming. I'm about 3/4 serious, but give me some time. It could go either way, and these are park geese I'm hunting after all.
