Bad luck story...Good stuff!
So their is a pong that we hunt along with another guy who is a friend of ours who had permission before us. We get along so it works out good but we don't really hunt together. He doesn't hunt the pond much or geese really. So we were going to hunt the pond Monday night for geese being it was the last day of early season. My Dad calls me at lunchtime that day and tells me that our friend called him that monr. and he hunted the pond that Monday morning for a couple hours. He had 2 geese land wide about 50 yards from his decoys. So he waited for a bit because they were just hanging out....Then it was about time for him to leave for work and the geese had swam ina bit. So he jumped the geese since it was his onyl chance and got both of them! They both ended up being BANDED!!! He was real excited abou it, but at the same time those geese would have been loafing when we got there most likely had he not been hunting...Another case of being in the right place at the right time! Having a lot of bands deosn't mean you've killed a lot of birds! In most cases it means you got lucky or hunt a area where their are a lot!
