Geo,

Is that the farm pond between the peanut fields and the golf course where you shot those Pterodactyl sized geese earlier? Sounds like Georgia may just get some snow and you guys will be in for some northern style geese shooting. Great work and great guns!

Jaeger, I understand your point. Different farm pond, but still non-migratory giant Canadas. Thoroughly wild but likely hatched on a golf course and fledged on a steady diet of pesticide laden mole crickets. Only goose hunt available down here.

Bring on the snow, we rarely see it. Don't worry about me though, I've paid my dues in the frigid vastness of many a Saskatchewan grain field. Cold enough to shock a hot blooded South GA boy anyhow...Geo

Geo,

I would take that hunt any day of the week. If I may make a suggestion, this is a fantastic way to prepare fat Canada Goose breast. (though I would skip the scotch step unless you like to have some sweetness in the meat)

Thanks for the "Spickgans" article and recipe. 67galaxie owns the best steakhouse in town and is a sure 'nuff chef. Sounds good, might try that...Geo

Geo, Keith, that's a whole lot of poultry. Never thought I'd see the day that Canadas are as common in South Ga as Guinea Hens.

Took Abby and Willa across the bridge into SC and had a few flushes on a gorgeous day. Gil

Had a nice morning with Mills on some new haunts. Beautiful habitat but Abby backed by Willa found only one bird. Mills had the shot and his beauty of a 28 ga. Parker (circa 1903) was golden on the bird. Mills's 6 months old Britt Sherwood photo bombed the picture. wink Gil

Gil, that VH Parker 28 is a treasure. I'll bet Mills has NEVER missed a woodcock with it. Thanks for sharing.

67Galaxie and I wrapped up the duck season by overlooking the still rain swollen duck hole on the river we usually have such good luck on. We dropped one woodie hen and Stella retrieved. Keith's dog Si wanted to share the retrieve as soon as Stella hit the dry ground, and we were off to the races, with Keith in hot pursuit. A large man, in waders, chasing two yellow labs fighting over a duck through a river bottom is a sight to behold.

Result was one mangled hen not photogenic enough for a farewell to the season pic. Another one's in the book (and I've treasured the memories of about 60 duck seasons) unless we decide to invade Canada for snow geese in April. Probably not...Geo
