Hunted south west of the pond
Saw 3 teal that I missed a very quick shot at. After that just enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and watched all the little birds flying around.
Gave up hunting. Pulled the truck up the my blind and started picking up decoys. My bag, shells and gun were cased and back by the truck. I was 10 to 15 yards into the water and mud not even wearing a shirt ( because it was hot ) when I heard geese honking. I had 2 goose decoys out. So I waded back grab the gun and #2 shot from my bag. Went back and squatted beside my bucket seat and start honking at 2 geese that landed in the middle. Setting 15' in front of my truck in waders and no shirt blowing a call I've never blown outside before.
I talked back and forth to the birds for 10 to 15min as they slowly swam my way at 40 to 45 yards I shot the lead one and missed the 2nd.
1st year I've put out goose decoys also 1st goose my dog has ever had to retrieve
