Early goose season was as quiet as last years. Have permission on 3 farms. Opportunity came twice during the season. First shown below with the Fox A (early) 12ga.,#1 barrel,30" F/F. Nice handling gun. Second pic is same gun with my girl "Oakley" as in Annie. Two weeks after this pic, I got thrown from my horse and broke my back in 4 places. Rodeo career officially over. Blessed not to have broke my neck. Had to cancel the Dakota outing, first miss in 20plus years.
My parents own a small lake and when my brother and I visit, we bring the guns and dogs to jumpshoot the lake. Always quite a mix of ducks on the lake. Woodies and Hoody fell to my LC Specialty 12ga.,30", M/M. Kept the guns in the truck so my bride (an othopedic nurse) wouldn't get wind of my hunting intensions. Her last words are always "Don't do anything stupid with your back" Getting on the horse was the stupid part. Brother Glen has an outstanding Golden that does the water work.
LC Ideal, FW,12ga., 28", M/F. Nice upland gun, backup waterfower. This day it went to the front of the class and took two geese lifting out of the corn
Oakley's first retrieve,she's just shy of 1 yr., late October, preserve hunt. Outran Glens two goldens, snatched up the bird and delivered to hand. Does it get any better than that.
