Got these birds on a field hunt the other night, along with our limits of Canadas and 7 ducks (mallards and wood ducks)
At the Taxidermists:
Pretty much lost it when I walked over to this bird:
....My roomate and buddy are out scouting and the phone rings...What are you Doing tomorrow? I say Im going to school....But the answer on the other end consisted of lots of canadas and a few snows..humm I thought..sure! However here is where things get crazy I remember we have an exam that morning so after being set up and my roomate shooting a wood duck we head to school where the exam isnt until 10am..grrrr So we wait around write our test and its back out to the field for the evening shoot by 3 (after more scouting of course) Get set up again turn the silos so they arent too shiny and what do you know..nap time! Half hour goes by with our other hunting buddy showing up....The sun is beginning to set when we start to see birds working their way into some fields and it wasnt long until we have our partial limits. Suddenly 3 geese silently work into the field and appear to lock up away from our shooting range, a quick feeding growl drifts them right in front when I hear "those are SNOWS!" The geese are coming closer and closer until KILL EM! All 3 snows come down..needless to say there is a lot of cheering going on
I run out to mine and its blue well I pretty much lost it for a few minutes! The Canadas came in heavy and we were limited out way before legal light so we sat in our blinds and watched the birds work the field and nearly landing on us. In between watching geese we also managed to take a few mallards and wood ducks that came into the field as well..
