I was field hunting last fall with a mix of full body goose decoys, silos and full body duck decoys. I shot a drake mallard and went to retrieve it while I was out of my blind I heard geese honking. My partners are yelling at me to get down so I crouch down and am perfectly still. The flock of eight lock on and come in for final approach. The guys start gunning them and knock down 4 geese. One bird flares off and then does a U-turn and banks into the decoys and lands about 5 feet from where I am crouched. I am yelling to make sure the other guys do not shoot. I stand up and the goose is caught totally by surprise. Instead of flying it hunkers down like it can hide from me. Finally it takes flight and I let it keep on flying. Coolest thing I have seen.
