Goose hunting in heavy wind and rain on Sunday morning

Last Sunday morning we had two groups hunting in heavy wind and rain. Probably was the weather interfering the geese a bit because they flight in late this morning. Despite that they came in big numbers so the results was about 60 geese and 10 duck's. Not bad at all.

The number of geese are increasing every week so the best time is still ahead.

Geese in thousands this morning

To day we split our hunters of 5 into two groups and they where lucky, 44 geese and 4 duck's after few hours on our cornfields. When they was on their way home the near cornfields was almost covered in thousands of Gray Lag Geese.

Therefore we believe it will be fun tomorrow morning when next group will arrive.
