We set up in a corn stubble field at a Menonite farm ... with 2 small bird group shooting stations ...
My station ....

It wasn't hard to see what the birds had been feeding on ...

Sometimes he gets left behind and has to do double time to keep up ..

Back to the geese .... The main flocks headed out over the ridge , but we did have 2 small groups swing by , and we grounded a limit out of them ... ( sorry , no flight or fall pictures this round ... was busy with the gun ! )
I did manage to get a triple though ! .... nice to get one on opening morning ...

Sally doesn't always see Spike when she is carrying a goose and he gets run over occationally ...

That was the only flight we had this a.m. ,,,, some pigeons kept us entertained though and were a little lighter for Sally to retrieve ....

Sun is up full .... no birds flying now , so we start to pack up ... cool to see all the Menonite farmers heading out to work in the background ...

I head back to the truck and get a couple of pictures of the kids at the farm that had gathered to watch us this a.m. .... they even tried viewing from a few different vantage points .... not sure if the boys told the sister she couldn't come up ? ..... she had something in mind for them and teased them by pulling the ladder away ...

Of course it just wouldn't be the same if the new farms resident dog hadn't marked my tires ! .... Some things never change , no matter what farm you hunt on ! ....
