Pastor and I are going to go goose hunting in the morning. I cant waight for our excursion to teh dark side of the moon. It will be the first time I get to hunt with Pastor.

Hopefully the ducks and geese fly thick as skitters for his debut duck and goose hunt.

We arnt bringging any decoys since we are going to be sitting in the wild grass trying to look inconspicuouse. I refer to it as hunting Longbow26 style. Hopefully that style produces some birds this trip. So fare I have been skunked.

The added benafit to hunting with a preacher is if the birds are not flying I can get a free surmen. Thouhg I am confident we will have plenty to talk about with out Pastor having to talk shop. UNless he feals the nead to do so. No complaints here if he does.

Wife is letting me take the digi camera along since no call for rain.

We not hunting all day since he ahs to go to work and I got to be home by 10am to meet the freind of mine i hierd to bid on fixing the door the burgler broke enterring out house. But hopefully we are limited out well befor then and already on our way ladden down with GODs bounty of the sky.

Well we shot at 20 gesse and 3 ducks that flew over us in the moring around 7 30am. I shot 3 shots at the ducks no hits and Pastor shot 2 times at the geese no hits.

At 8 30am whiel we was standing at the waters edge a duck flew past Pastor cut lose on it. After 3 shells from pastor and 1 from me it came back around for another baradge. I shot 2 more times at it and pastor 3 more times and after the last shot of his it cuped its wings and lost altatude fast.

We walked towerds the iced creek it went down at and as I was walking acorss the ice to get to the creek proper the ice gave way. So my non water proff bots got wet. I figer mis as well continue on and by the time i saw the duck runing acorss the ice towerds the lake i was well past my knees in ice water. Just as i thouhgt no cence in shoting the duck where he is the water being deeper then my knees he took to flight and flew off giving me a few departing queacks.


My gun for some reason was cycling afully slow. Not know if it was the cold weather or a internal ishue.


I had fun I hope Pastor did.

The geese and 3 ducks were 40 feet high. The solo duck was 15 feet off the water for first shot. 40 to 50 high.

LB,

Missing happens to all of us, ask RBH or Leasburg about the one(s) that got away from us that Saturday morning at FG.
