Definatly luck and the right place at the right time. I was on a hunt with my dad last year early season and a flock of about 7 or 8 came in. He downed 2 and due to some poor shooting a missed 3 times. [:'(]I saw one goose was lagging a bit behind the others so I threw in one shell and spun up onto my knees in the layout blind and turned around the back and shot at about 45 yards and downed one. He went to get his and they were both banded. After that I honesly sprinted out to mine to check, and sure enough banded. All three were within 5 numbers of each other. Ended up getting lucky again and shot 1 other band out of that field later in the year.
