Daryl, great photos. I like the last one with him looking for the "tired dogs" inside the boot which are probably inside the blue socks. Gil

Daryl, I've not commented on any of these photos through seventeen pages, but those of you and your grandson drove me to hit the keyboard. What a bunch of superb shots of you and him. I love it. You are truly a blessed man, but of course you know that.

Gil and John, thanks for the thoughts. Yes, I am blessed. My daughter-in-law and son have had grandson, Jack, hunt with me in Saskatchewan, Montana, and New Mexico. All starting before the age of 1. Now, at 3 1/2 he easily walks along in the "proper" grass. We noticed him zigzagging during the hunt. He was trying to walk in the shorter grass as the taller grass, when it hit his face, made him feel "nervous". His dad's first quail kill required an explanation to him. He wasn't sure about the dead bird. After the explanation by his dad, all was fine from then on.

A little late and yes, I still don't use the forearm on this 30" Nitro Special. Just catches stems and holds water underneath the barrels. [img][URL=http://s91.photobucket.com/user/Halpics_bucket/media/HappyBenwithlimitofducks_zpsc5ee49f2.jpg.html][IMG]

Here you go Hal, good shooting.

Well Daryl you are a lucky man to be able to enjoy time in the field with your grandchildren.

I love this picture, Birdog. Who needs a forend ? Thanks.

Goose hunting in sub-zero weather just outside the city limits in December. My most memorable hunts. (Citori Lightning with top barrel bored to mod and FTCH Huckleberry's Hustle)

Tamid, I used to hunt geese inside the city limits of Winnipeg, years ago before they changed the regs. Great goose shooting!

Now, of course, it is a plague of geese in the city. Especially during the fall. Crap everywhere. By my office and warehouse, some distance from any water and in an industrial park, we typically have 150-200 goslings marching around under the watchful eyes of a few adults every spring.

Calgary has up to 20,000 geese and 20,000 ducks over-wintering on the Bow River. Extended season around the city till Dec 21. More packed snow in the fields than in the past 10 years. I think we will see a lot of die off.
