This is the reason Im not a big fan of early goose season. First off, the birds are soooo unpredictable and can never seem to do the same thing two days in a row!! Secondly, this hot humid weather is ridiculous.
The morning brought us heavy dense fog and no wind!!! Only saw a handful of birds with one small flock of four decide to land behind us. We managed to scratch out two with some pretty bad shooting. We thought we may sailed a cripple behind a treeline and after some time we decided to go take a look and see if the dogs could come up with anything. Nothing! On the way back to the blinds, here comes a flock of 10-12 getting ready to dump in on the other 2 hunters in our group until the saw our monkey heads running through the field with 2 dogs in tow. Needless to say the didnt give a shot.
After the fog lifted it got hot and steamy and right now the evening hunt is goin to be rather unpleasant in this heat. At least there is a good breeze.
Back to why I dont like early season..unpredictable birds, hot humid weather and having to find enough birds for 3-4 hunters. I know its not about killing but rather hanging with the crew and the hounds, telling dumb stories to pass time. But this is, for me anyway, the most stressful part of the season and the whole year for that matter. With that said, Im goin to grab a bite to eat and get ready to head out this afternoon for some punishment!! LOL
