Yesterdays goose hunt

As you can see from the pictures below, our goose hunt was successful. While it didn't turn out exactly how we had hoped, with thousands of geese landing directly on top of us, we did have thousands of geese fly directly over us at low altitude and land approximately 300 yards from us. It was a very cool site to see. Between the two of us we were able to kill two lesser Canada Geese and one Specklebelly Goose. We could have killed more, but we only brought 10 shells with us - so we killed our 3 geese and called it a day since we knew we had a long night of packing ahead of us.

We were mostly packed by 11:30 PM. When we woke up to hunt pheasants today, winds were over 25 mph again which was not good conditions for pheasant hunting, as we learned the first two days here. So, we finished up our packing and hit the road to head back home.

We expect to hit Minneapolis around 7:30 PM, where we will be visiting with Craig Peterson and his wife Mary. Our ETA in Carmichaels is approximately 1 PM Friday. We are looking forward to hunting Pennsylvania state game lands Saturday morning and seeing how our dogs work East Coast pheasants.
