2 weeks to Goose opener! Counting the hours!!

[1963beretta]

Im sitting in my office in the concrete jungle we call Toronto, and I cant help but have my mind somewhere else. Trying to have a conversation with people around me about why my eyes are to the skies is next to impossible. Getting honked at and having people flip me the middle finger while driving because I slow down to gaze at a passing flock of geese is becoming more tolerable....more tolerable for me at least. Justifying the daily trips to all the local sporting stores with a purchase of more shells to add to the already unbearable stock pile sitting at home just makes sense. Clearing out the freezer by binge eating on whats remaining of last seasons massacre is beginning to add a few inches to the waistline. And finally, losing sleep over when I can head out and put up the finishing touches to my blind to prepare it for opening day. It amazes me that work somehow still gets done!

Anyone else suffering from opening day fever? It cant come soon enough for me.

Until then...opening day flashbacks is what sooths the mind.

My home away from home...the good old blind!

As long as the phone don't ring I may get a chance as well.

North side opener is on Tuesday... we will definitely hit the fields and do our best to thin the locals;

We are only 4 days until waterfowl season but unfortunately I am back to work for my 10 day rotation the day before opener so it will be another two weeks for me.

Sat watching the birds flying into a wet field this morning... when they head to water at midday, we will go in and get the blinds set-up for opener tomorrow... looks like it should be a good shoot.

I gotta wait until the 10th in the southern region! This wait is killing me!

I got goose fever, I might even be getting the shakes waiting until the 10th.

Laying in the field now, under fog... decoys out, dog frisky... so are the mosquitoes.

I am heading up to Grande Prairie on Thursday to try and do the same thing. Hopefully the pea fields have been at least swathed and are drying by then up there.

Peas should all be harvested by now.

Jealous of all the pictures available so far. Sep 10 is our opener and already have the evening booked with my hunting bud. Literally cannot wait. Been cruising Google Maps endlessly the last few weeks.

Six on Sept. 01, 8 on Sept. 02... maybe 10 on Sept. 03???

Hoyt....save some for us living down in the southern region. Otherwise, I'm going to have to bail on work and make the drive up to your fields.
