If I get my own farm anytime in the near future, all three of you will be invited to hunt with me. I need some hunting buddies to help put out all the decoys. That way, my dad and I can relax a little. LOL

OH HO...now we are going to be his decoy sluts. We have to put the decoys out and pick 'em up and rearrange them..retrieve the birds(he'll retire Nitro). I can hear it now....FETCH!!! Back..back....GOOD BOYS!! Hey Del...maybe we'll have to shoot 'em for him too!!hehehehe I do know how to bump an arm or so. Yep...I can hear it now... Saying to Delduck.."Oh guide...when will the birds be getting here?" and then..."oh guide, please don't blow the goose call too loudly. It may interrupt my nap!" "have you fixed my snack yet"

Just gotta let you know..The wind hit 62 MPH pretty steady at 45 according to my gauge this AM. Was going goosin..but we decided to let it go for today. Wind died off to 30 steady 15 minutes later. 20 minutes ago the geese started coming in here. big bunches. Have near 5000 as I type...and still coming in little groups. Out in the CRP ground now...eatin grass or whatever

Yeah, that sounds good Skeet. Just need to make sure that I have a mocha latte and some type of exotic breakfast sandwich too.

As you know, that definitely is not me. I think most of the fun that comes with hunting is the work done to get the game. Anybody can shoot targets and if that is all I wanted I would just shoot clays all the time. Heck, clays are somewhat more challenging than geese as far as just shooting them is concerned. The challenging part of goose hunting is getting them to come into shooting range. Once they are within 30 yards, it would be a pretty miserable day if too many shells didn't yield birds.

You are almost making me jealous with your description of the birds coming in; however, I did see my first pair of mallards this season yesterday morning out of the kitchen window and the geese have been flying around here pretty decently lately. Just haven't had the time to get out and hunt.

Oh yeah, and after we get the spread out in the cold-dark I guess we will have to draw straws to see who has to go to the house and wake him up! Actually, I would almost volunteer to carry someones gun AND play retriever to get a place to hunt over here.!LOL FABS, I wouldnt really carry your gun, but I might make my son do it for me. I found the ducks, They are all sitting under the bay bridge on the eastern side.

If I had a farm and invited you guys to hunt, I wouldn't expect you to do any more work than I did myself. A job done by many is a lot easier than the same job done by two people (i.e., me and my dad). Plus, we would be able to shoot more birds with more people around. Now, I just need to work on how to buy a place.

Just having a little fun Fabs, no harm intended1

Rubicon,

I didn't take any offense whatsoever. In fact, I got a couple of good laughs out of this thread so far. I just want everybody to know that I wouldn't abuse you if I invited you to hunt with me.

Absolutely no offense taken.
