I can only hope that this opener is as great as the last. It was early in the morning when we arrived at the field, where my buddy Hebz, Jonny B. and myself were meeting some other friends of ours to hopefully open the season with a bang. After dragging dozen after dozen of full body decoys into the field we covered the blinds and anxiously waited.
Myself (Eddie) and Jonny B. after a very exciting hunt
At 6:30am we hear the first honk in the distance, "get in the blinds", I yelled. Jonny says, '"straight out front over the treeline". Here they come, first group of the season, twelve to fifteen birds headed where they have been for the past week or so, but this time one thing is different, they have no idea we are there. Jonny plays follow the leader with me on his call, I can almost feel everyone's excitement as the geese lock up. Feet down, wings flapping, I yell out "MAKE IT RAIN!" and six birds eat dirt.
We all get up high five one another and start looking for bling, none this time, but more birds will be coming. The rest of the day they came in as pairs or sometimes 3-4 in a group, which made for a great day. Only twelve are going home, but for some reason we have alot more empties, but at the end of the day it is about time spent with friends and family and having a great time!
