We hunted the Same Turtle Lake WPA we’ve hit the last couple days for about an hour and a half and ended up with 0.5 birds. Dan shot a rooster off of Winnie’s point and thought it was stone dead when it hit the ground. However, it came back to life, ran, and despite Winnie trailing it for 500 yards, it escaped into the cattails.
I shot at 3 birds (1 I probably shouldn’t have) & didn’t shoot at a couple more that I could have if I’d have been in better shooting position. Jax and I spent most of the time in the heavy cattails (which somewhat led to my not always being in good positions). Jax hunted great - today’s lack of birds was my fault.
We’re on the road heading home now. The pic here is a tiny, tiny fraction of the snow geese that are nearby. This is only about 1/20 of the geese in this one field…
