Starting off with a bang!

Saturday, October 6th was the opening day of the early goose season here in North Missouri. The temp dropped down to low thirties and was perfect weather for an early season goose hunt.

We knew we were going to be hunting in a corn field that had been replanted in wheat so we cut some green pasture grass the night before so we could help conceal our blinds. A good tip to remember when driving around scouting for geese is that when you find them, pay close attention to the landscape, the cover there, etc so you can find similar foilage to cover your layout blind in.

When we got there we realized the farmer had disked the corn under and then had planted some wheat which was only 3 in. tall. So all we could do was grass our blinds and put them in a grassy roadway in the middle of the field and hope for
the best.

We were in the right spot where the geese wanted to be, but unfortunately I think the lack of cover kept them from finishing. As the picture shows God still blessed us with a productive morning even though it’s a lot nicer when they finish right in your face. Great way to start the opening day of goose season 2012!
