Late Season Geese

[CharlieNY]

Well the late Canada Goose season started the day after Christmas and we got out for the first 2 days. There were 4 of us and we got 7 birds the first day and 4 on the second day. As usual the labs had the most fun. We took my son's black lab Gunner the first day and my yellow lab Waylon the second day. Here's some pics of some retrieves.

This morning we got out again. Our friend Danny came along with his girlfriend Nicole. Danny had shot his first deer hunting with us on the second day of gun season this year. Early on 4 ducks came in and we bagged 3 of them. The goose hunting was slow with many high flying migrators going over us. We had to leave at 11:30 and at 11:15 we called in a big single goose. Nicole had never shot a goose and we decided that she would get the first shots. Nicole slammed the bird with her first shot. We were all so proud and so happy for her. That makes 2 firsts for the couple hunting with us this year. And of course my lab Waylon made a great retrieve.

Well we started out the New Year with a bang, actually quite a few bangs. The cold weather had the geese flying good this morning. My lab Waylon couldn't have been happier. Happy New Year everyone.

Thanks so much Al. Only thing is that Waylon is a he and not a she. And yes he's becoming a pro waterfowler and is also a wonderful house dog. Happy New Year to you. I know that you have experienced the joy of hunting with a good dog.

Out again this morning. Got 3 birds this morning and of course Waylon got his picture taken with the birds he retrieved.

Out again this morning. It was cold and windy with a constant blowing snow. But we managed to score on 3 more birds. It was Gunner's turn today to do the retrieving and he enjoyed the day.
