I went to my buddies house for Thanksgiving again this year. His wife puts on a very good spread, and I appreciate the invite. After the meal my buddy, myself and Phil headed out to the barn to start the annual after Thanksgiving BS session. At around 2:30 Jake asked if I want to go across the road to see if I could get a doe. I said yes and got out of my good clothes and into some hunting clothes (that I just happened to have with me.) He Ubered me over to his blind in the Canam, dropped me off and went back to the Barn. At 4:20 I called Jake up and asked for a knife since I left mine at home, he said you need one? I said yep I'm done.
Long story short I took this doe at 275 yards with Jakes Christensen 300 prc, what a piece of equipment. Since we had been talking about goose hunting the next morning (friday) that started the wheels turning to take the day off. When we called off that hunt, I was still in day off mode and called in anyway. That really didn't turn out good for me becuse instead of MAKING 350 I SPENT 800.... decisions were made...
Anyway with the passing of Thanksgiving came the start of the pheasant clean up. Monday I went out in perfect conditions... fresh snow. I had a harder time than I thought I would've but I did shoot at 1 bird, that kept flying 😩. I worked half the day just to see a pheasant. Tuesday went a little better....
After the hunt I drove to Fort Wayne to check on the goose situation and low and behold I had geese, so I got on the phone and devised a plan.
Well none of the usual suspects could make it so I rolled out by myself the next morning. I got set up by 7:40ish and had limit by 9:42, the actual time from the first shot to the last was less than 20 mins. Super good time and an awesome hunt.
