SNOW

 That's why I got loaded up and headed to town on Monday, just to wait on snow and geese. I saw a couple early flocks and finally I had a flock that wanted to work. They landed 30 yards from my furthest decoy, needless to say it was too far to shoot. I had hoped they would walk in to visit but that was a bust. The only other trick in my bag was to stealthily get out of my blind and try to reap a goose. I was able to get out of my blind crouch walk to a decoy, that I picked up and put in front of me. Then I started to slowly close the distance on the closest goose. When I was just about in range the rest of the flock freaked out over a bald eagle and picked up. The one I was looking to get stood up, looked around, I took aim and .... bang, dead goose.
So now all I had to do was wait for the snow...... unfortunately all that showed up was sunset. So I got my pic and started putting the spread together. 
one goose on an all day sit..... πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž
I went up to get the wheeler and it made the noise nobody wants to hear, you know that reer...reer...reer...reer noise. So I grabbed a sled and headed out to get the spread old school. After I got loaded I tried the wheeler again to no avail, and ended up pushing it into the trailer.
By the way the weatherman was WRONG again, does anyone know the definition of insanity?

So we were supose to be getting some more weather on Wednesday. So, I decided to try my river spot since everything should've be locked up tight by then. I'm not sure how true that was but it looked like everything was froze and the snow did show up off and on during the day, so that was awesome.
 I just don't know where the geese were. I could've loaded the truck with ducks but I only saw a couple flocks of geese and they wanted nothing to do with me. So I watched the ducks and a couple muskrat through out the day but no geese. I did have a nice lunch....
Then a large cup of cappuccino
Then I sat down and waited for the end of shooting, before picking up and heading North.
Couple of good days hunting. 😊
