We also managed our goose limit and Skyler made her first goose retreive. . .I was rather excited to watch that take place. She went after one in the water, of course the one with quite a bit of life left that gave her a nice swat with the wings. That only turned the prey drive up a few notches and she grabbed it. I don't expect too much out of her, but she doesn't seem to mind this waterfowl thing too much.
Here's Sky bringing back the goose (had to brighten up the pic to see the outline)
Here is a couple of pics of our take.
We managed one rooster pheasant from this place as well (listed as preserve) and later in the evening we went on our place at around 6:45 pm and ran into some pheasants and woodcock, but ran out of daylight to hit our grouse area. We put up 9 pheasants in about a 15 minute span, our preserve cover is looking great and we found them in an area that I was actually expecting to put a grouse up. I think we are pulling a lot of the wild pheasant from the area down the road with the amount of food we have for them now, it should be a fun year out there.
