What a great morning out with awesome clients that were willing to brave the single digits morning.
Things started off slow as we laboriously tried broking sheet ice on the winter wheat hoping to get to some water below. No bueno.
Ended up setting decoys on top of ice and ponded in a few MOJO's.
Legal came and we watched thousands of birds... land 500 yards away on the neighbors field. My heart sunk.
But then, it happened. A lone goose seemed lost and meandered over to our spread. He got lit up pretty quick AND the birds on the other field got up AND CAME OUR WAY.
Was a pretty quick morning after that and nobody was complaining about the cold any longer.
