September 1 Early Goose Season
Had a good opening morning today for the Early Resident Goose Season. Redman came down from Illinois last night for the opener. He, Hooter and I were joined by a couple of guys from my duck club in Arkansas that live near here. We met at 5 a.m. at a little country restuarant and got to the lake about six a.m. The geese were already there, as we knew they would be. The weather was perfect for this time of year with a few clouds and the temperature in the mid sixties and just a slight breeze from the north east.
The 80-90 geese flew out to feed about 6:15 and we went to work. We launched the War Eagle and packed it with all the gear and the five of us. It was a pretty good load. Probably in the neighborhood of 1500 pounds. We were only going a couple hundred yards to an island and could only use the electric motor on this lake anyway so we weren’t in any danger in the knee deep water. We put out about a dozen floater decoys and dropped two of the guys on a small island. We tucked the boat under the edge of and island about 60 yards away and tied it to a tree to stabilize it and made our selves comfortable.
About 9:30 a.m., when the sun started getting hot in the fields, the geese started coming back in. In just a few minutes it was over for the morning. We ended up with 14 geese. Not bad for such a low effort hunt on a weekday when we should have been at work. No dozens of full bodies to set out and pick back up and no layout blinds to fool with. It was a good opening day of the 2009-2010 waterfowl season. We even got to see a bald eagle make a pass over the lake. Good omen if there ever was one.
Wind at your back and good friends in your blind. MuddyDucker
