Tough Morning goose hunting today.
Got setup early but not too early, wasn't trying to fight anyone for a spot and of there was someone there I would leave. It was empty, awesome!
I setup my decoys and get comfortable and start listening and then I hear a volley of fire, I'm talking 3 to 6 shots every 30 seconds coming from the Willamette river. This went on for a while and then stopped and then came back.
I finally hear my first set of geese and start calling and no bologna, a family let's there dog and kids out and they start running and screaming, public land?amiright?
Someone was having a good day on the river or skeet shooting cause that's the only time I've heard that many shots lol.
I packed up and left trying not to be sore about it, it does kind of feel like a time steal. Scouting and waiting out the window. I didn't even get any practice calling them in which sucks cause I'd like to learn something everytime I'm out that I can apply to next time.
I guess I learned geese hate barking dogs running through fields lol no luck getting private land for geese yet.
I really want to get my first goose for Christmas, maybe I will try again tomorrow.
