Saturday my buddy and I set up a spread of 69 goose decoys on the river, we had shot 4 geese and had 2 come right over our spread. They were a bit wary and landed up river about 100 yds. We got a little bored and decided to go jump them we did not get very close and my buddy took a charity shot that happened to hit the bird, the bird made a big loop and we both took some more charity shots, I ended up leading him by about 7 feet and killed him dead. We retreived him and he was banded, the band was so old it was nearly worn off. I punched in the numbers and the goose was banded in 1996 in logan ! A sixteen year old goose! It made sense why he didn't land in the decoys after that, I can't imagine how many times that bird had been shot at. I can't wait to eat him[sly]
