When you see one turkey flying away after you've done all that you can to sneak into position, but then see waterfowl galor? When I was walking into my buddy's woods I passed his pond. I flushed two woodies. As I sat down @ my first calling position, six Canada geese flew over. I called & called; no turkey. As I was going to the other position four more geese flew over. I sat down, called. 15 mins later the old tom flew from his roost, going the way I had left (of course), never to be seen again that morning. Not long after, two more geese flew over top of me, right in gunning range. They landed in a field not far from the meadow that I was facing.
I guess that I can take two things away from this past Saturday: 1) there's another turkey that I can hunt next Saturday. 2) I can check out that other field next September. Other than those silver linings, I can't think of anything else.

Isn't that how things seem to work. When I'm rifle or bow hunting I see flocks and flocks of turkeys, and maybe a few deer. This turkey season, I saw probably 15 deer in one day. Then I'm fishing last Saturday and it seemed like every stop I made, there were ducks everywhere. Oh well there all still fun to see, and a couple of the ducks I saw had ducklings. :thumbsup:

yeah, I saw a couple of geese w/ ducklings as I was riding my jetski this weekend. I came into this one slough and about 10 woodies and 3-4 mallards jumped up and left. I could even here the wood ducks making that barking noise. :getdown:

I seen more geese during turkey this year than I did during goose season last year myself. :laughing: Funny how it works out that way. I wonder if that means there will be more geese here this fall?

while i was turkey hunting at my uncles ranch 3 mallards kept flying by me. then landed in front of me and started feeding.

Been there done that! Last Friday at Stockton Lake Missouri, my buddy and I got our Toms together, a double. While beaching the boat at various times I saw Blue wing teal, geese and LOTS of woodies. I almost stepped on three of them. I was amaised out how tight they stuck when we beached the boat in some downed trees. Scared the crap outa me when they flushed! They acted like quail.
:salude:

I seen a family of geese this morning. There was 5 goslings with the parents. :smile:

I have seen probably the most geese nesting around here for as long as I can remember.
