Geese in the river

Well like a lot of my hunting trips;
We're standing in the dark at some cold boat ramp backing in a
boat.This time of year it must be Goose hunting.
Well before sun up we have the "Cow" loaded down with decoys
and shot gun shells heading up the black river looking for a
likely place to set up for the day. A mile or so we found a
secluded sand bar covered with honkers. Looks good I thought. We
find a place to park the boat and spend the better part of an
hour setting deke's and setting up the boat garage,AKA boat
blind.

Thousands of geese start taking off all over the river to go
feed Not a one flew over us. So we sit,and sit,and sit. Re set
the deke's and set some more. We Knew when we landed in the dark
the bar was covered in geese and some time they where going to
come back, we sat some more. We had one goose come in and set
his wings, I blasted it. A few moments late another one did the
same thing My boy said "Take him" I pulled up and tried, To bad
I hadn't jacked in a new shell... We sat some more.About 1:00 we
could here geese and they where coming in. They cleared the
trees with there feet stretched out wings cupped. We let'm have
it, we had geese falling like rain. We would run the boat out
and scoop them up in the net come back and shoot some more. I
blasted one and the boy stopped me and said we had our limits ,
HUMM I guess we are done I said ,and the "Rain" stopped. We
gathered them all up and counted yup we where finished. COOL
packed it all up and went back.

That was one of the best posts I've read in a long time. Thanks
for the report. I also love hunting geese, great game bird and
really good on the table. Smoked goose breast is hard to beat.

Thanks all.
We save all the birds,Pheasants to swan , and grind them all
together and make what we call DUCK jerky. About the only way I
can eat it. :P

One of my favorite ways to cook geese is to use a pressure
cooker. Add a couple apples when you cook it. Comes out very
tender with a little sweet taste from the apples.
