Last 3 Hunts

The last 3 days have continued to be some good hunting.  Saturday we were excited to see a fresh new blanket of snow on the ground.  Bryce and I both thought it'd be a lights out hunt but it was actually kind of tough.  We ended the day with 9 geese but one of them was a really nice one that was banded.  And not just one band but 2 bands on its legs!  Congrats Devon for winning the drawing for the bands!  I apoligize for not getting a group photo but guys left throughout the day taking birds so by the end of the hunt there were only a few of us.

Sunday I had a day off but Bryce went out with 4 other guys.  They saw 1 goose in the morning and killed it and didn't see another until 3:00.  But then the geese started to roll and they ended up with 12.  I'll see if Bryce or any of the boys have pics that we can post up.

Monday was a low key hunt with only 2 of us out there.  Once again the morning was slow with a little trickle coming out of town and the majority of birds heading back into town.  By 2:00 the skies opened up and the geese began to come out in waves.  The birds were once again stubborn but Rod and I were able to shoot a handfull by the time we decided to call it quits. 

We still have thousands of geese in Rochester and we'll be hunting them all the way until January 1st.  Give Bryce or me a call to set up a memorable hunt!
