Boykin,
We did OK about 50 and everyone called it quits @ 11AM. Got on a good sneak with Patrick and the rest of the guys showed up about 10 minutes later. Pretty good one since Forrest got a band. Dang them kids are fast!! We enjoyed ya'll and are welcome anytime!!! We will definately do it again.

David, Ramsey told me about the Goose that your group killed that had the tarsus band but it didn't have a metal band on it. That's wild and I have never seen or heard of one not having the metal band to go along with it. I have heard about geese having neck collars with out leg bands though. Congrats and it looks and sounds like them boys had a great time.

First run for the boys, the geese were moving fast across the field in the wind and by the time we got thre most had fed a good ways off. Asked Duncan if he wanted to try those that were about 70 yards away and he said sure - 2-3/4" shells, 3/4 ounce of steel 2s put his first two snows on the ground and the other msducksers put the rest away.
Those cheesburgers got plenty energy, now y'all help dad look for more geese...
Crawled a disced field, using a terrace for cover...Duncan could stay as low bent over as us fat old guys could do on our bellies and had to keep him reeled back (needed a check cord)...the boys took it to the plug with the rest of us and helped pick up a few (even nbkiller don't stand a chance against these two boys picking up birds)...
Heading back to the truck after an "almost"...
Duncan took a stroll see if he could find any geese (running like Mrs. Heather had the paintball gun again)...
Finders keepers...Forrest picked up the banded interphase last shoot of the weekend...
Big thanks to Adam! And David! Had a great time and look forward to visiting again soon!
Oh yeah...and that rattling that may develop in the vacuum cleaner? Might have something to do with the 'wonder how many bb's are in a shotshell' experiment the boys conducted late one night.

Great pics Ramsey, that was a beautiful interphase that Forrest picked up. Great job. I know them boys were tried after a long weekend. I know that you didn't want to hunt with NO Band Stan this weekend, and put his band jinx on us so that you wouldn't get none of it, and it looks like it worked out for Forrest.

That is the worst part of the weekend.
But, it has to be done. At least it wasn't as cold for you guys.
