Early season is already half over and I have nothing posted! Time is flying….. This weekends hunt was the best since opening day; when we were able to take 22 geese with four guys on the opener. Now that the corn is being cut in most of my fields, we have started to see a bit more consistent pattern in my home area now that the geese have corn in their diet. The birds seem to be getting some pressure though and are starting to become more wary. I have found that early season decoying techniques are not working as well as this time last year. I am having to pull more birds off the basement rack and put them in my spread in order to fool early season geese….. usually not the case?? We were able to get on birds in cut corn on Saturday and ended up with 5birds and 1 band,  with only myself and Tyler my new guide. We decided to shoot with our off hand to make things a little more interesting? Needles to say I shot my first “left hand” band!

Moving backwards to Friday….We set up in a great alfalfa field only to have someone on an ATV run right through or decoy spread “he stated he didn’t realize we were hunting and that the geese didn’t look fake”; I guess this means the decks look real!! Anyway this ruined our night since we had to wait for the police to come and the property owner to arrive. As we stood by the road geese piled into our spread; feeding care free for about an hour and flew out as if nothing was peculiar about the geese that never moved?

I am amped up to begin work with some brand new sponsors along with meeting new people all while we enjoy a resource called the Great Outdoors.
