Well it's that time of the year again. Sunday is opening day for our early goose season. Can't wait to hit the fields sun. morning. Have a spot where I was told about a 1000 geese have been spending the day. I'm looking forward to the blast i'm in for. I'll let you know how we do.

Hunter, Archer, in my area in Maryland just north of DC we have a 5 day limit from 15th of Aug till the 14th of Sept. I haven't been out this season but maybe if the weather is nasty enough I may get out friday evening. The geese are staying in the fields. i mean golf courses LOL. Smart birds.

Davehawk is right... my golf course is full to the brim with geese. I will soon have to deploy some "integrated pest management" to control them. :D :D

Our early season has started, I think. I haven't paid much attention this year. Trying to concentrate on my first elk hunt. I was out in the field the other morning and seen about 200 of them in a wheat stubble field. Made me want to take a little time and go after them. Oh well maybe when I get back from the elk hunt. My luck is the season will be closed. I will have to check into that. Has anyone got a good idea what the duck flight will be like this year. I have heard both good and bad. I dunno......Hope it is better then last year.

Wonder why some states allow generous bag limits on canvasbacks and AR has a closed season for them? :confused:

Same here. No canvasbacks this year also.

Geese? Did someone say, geese?

I shot this teeny-tiny one just before the first split ended 2 weeks ago...and it's a shame it's so small. :D

Shoreman... amn shame you wasted a shell on something that small. :D You got to learn to leave them grow up... or at least leave them come back up here for me. ;)

Nice "honker" for sure.

No Canvas back over there in AR? Wow, we have the same here in Cali and it is closed in Oregon this year as well. It's a shame, I see lots of them in the local ponds inside and just outside of town. Pintail was closed for the first half here and now the limit is one per day.
