Making new friends

[kt]

this morning dawned warm and with blue bird skies, a fella was coming in who said he wasnt hunting just had his video camera, well he had a pretty tricked out camera all camo'd and all. we first had a flock of mallards get dusted perfectly on film, my other buddy left, so he picked up my friends gun just in time for one of the most honest to goodness goose flights i have seen all the while the temp was near 50. it was so good that i passed on birds because i could tell they didnt have leg bands. lots of good filming, shooting and of course my calling all on film. the last bird i shot was funny, i was feeling lucky i picked one out of a group 60 yds up, smoked it and it came falling straight at me from that height. now imagine my 5'6 self in knee deep mud, running through this pond to get away from this falling resident goose. i seriously was scared at the thought of getting that bird on my head. he died in my boot prints, great photo op.
this year i have met two different fellas in the dark. both times i have had a great time. gives me hope for the rest of my hunting brethren
