Every February we have a couple of friends who travel down from the northwest corner of the country for a visit. We always use that time to do some kind of hunt. A few years ago we went hog hunting with thermals in Texas. The last two years we’ve hunted light geese near Cash, Arkansas. Last year we had a lot of shooting & took 126 geese. This year, the geese seemed very content to roost & feed in large groups while staying on the ground most of the time. There weren’t nearly as many birds migrating with the skies totally clear for most of the day. So we only got a few sporadic chances at some singles & doubles. We could ride around & see hundreds of thousands of geese. We just didn’t get many opportunities to shoot at them. We still had a good time.
Checking the weather & waiting for the sun to come up.
A lot of sitting & waiting…
Calling it quits at the end of the day. It won’t take long to clean the day’s few geese.
In a fit of optimism, I think I brought way too many shells.
A motley crew & the results of our final morning.
