Rose bush watch

I actually got drawn for the dove hunt in Huntington on Monday, so a buddy and I went and scouted for a spot. When Monday arrived I went down to Fort Wayne at daybreak to hopefully find some geese that "we" could hunt on Tuesday, and I had to drop my truck off for it's 60k birthday inspection. So the good news was I had geese, with that I got picked up and we headed down to the dove hunt.
We checked in, picked a spot, and headed out for the day. It wasn't long after we got there that I realized, I once again picked a spot not quite on the X. Let me just say that by the looks of the sunflower fields I wasn't looking for a barn burner.... I figured we would get a couple birds but it wasn't going to be great.
I was partially right, even though the fields looked not great we did see a fair amount of birds, and shot quite a few times. That being said our aim was... well bad. We ended up with 4 birds and we both blew through a box of shells. So, we had a good time, and my buddy got a meal albeit a small one with only 4 birds.
I did not take a pic because... well, it was 4 birds and I knew we were up in the morning anyway.

I got home late Monday because of a lost phone fiasco, I ate, showered and went to bed. I got up had a cup of coffee and got packed and on the road. I got to FW got unloaded and started to set up the decoys and the hide. My buddy had to get his kids off to school so he was going to be.... wow on time.... wait for it... EARLY. Apparently his wife was able to get the kids on the bus so he could come down, bonus. Which was good because it was 15-20 mins out from the time the geese showed up the day before, so we need to get situated.
We were ready with 5 or so minutes to spare then this happened.

We had a good day put 6 geese on the ground and as my buddy proceeded to claim almost all of them 🤔, I gently protested 😒 all the while knowing who really put the bodies on the ground 😎. Then I proceeded to take them home, clean them, salt and refrigerate them, then drop them off the next day so he can have some goose.
I know, I'm sweet....
You can be the judge.
Next week I'm hoping to get my truck on Monday 🤞, then on Tuesday go up to Holland, MI to do some salmon fishing.
