Trad goose hunting - with pics
« on: September 06, 2011, 11:28:00 AM »
Enjoy these pics.  

This was my 3rd try for an aerial goose with the recurve on the flats.  The river was very calm and pretty despite the hurricane.  I had a few shots in the air and a couple misses.  One pair landed in the decoys and I launched 3 before they flew out.  My shotgun backup was out chasing a cripple.  I recreated the shot and figured out my bottom limb hit the water on the shots causing me to shoot low...Oh well...good lesson.  

I got this nice shiner now when I went to throw out a decoy from the boat and threw out a weight that was connected to a decoy still on the boat holder...ouch! Dummy !

I'll try again next year!  On to Colorado Friday for elk!

That sounds like a blast.  Dude, that shiner looks like it hurts.  Good luck elk hunting, hopefully you won't injure yourself using those decoys.  TRW

You didn't mention you were body booting. I used to do that for years and years up there. Who did you go out with?

I have a zipper Aquala dry suit (body boot) for sale if you know anyone interested.

Geese drive me nuts with a gun. I couldn't imagine a trad bow. Nice pics!

Early season you do not need a dry suit.  I used my scuba wetsuit but brother just got wet.  Waders are ok till the tide gets close to the top and you can't hunker down low!  

I went out with my brother who lives in Havre De Grace.
