Visual: geese flipping and ducks cupped as they are coming into the decoys. I think the best memory is of Nitro, my dog, cresting a hill with his first goose in his mouth, seeing me, and holding the goose up like "Look at what I have and what a good job I am doing." Don't think I will ever forget that retrieve.
Smell: Burnt gunpowder and a wet dog.
Audio: The honk of geese and quack of ducks.
If you can't tell yet, I love waterfowl hunting. The sunrises and sets are great, but I don't think there is a single one that I actually remember. They are great when I see them, but they are quickly forgotten.
