All in all I had a chance to hit a flock flying over me, I felt they were out of range, tried to call them down and they were gone. In hind sight, I should have tried because that was the best chance I had all day.
My decoys and location. It was in the center of two tree lines
and the end of a plowed field.
My blind. I added some more camo after this picture
to cover that tan that was showing (you wouldn't have been
able to see it if I took the pic then :) )
Essentially you sit in this caterpillar sleeping bag
type contraption, you see a bird, pull the hood/mesh
part back and shoot.
My decoys.
The view from my blind... it messes w/ your eyes
after a couple hours.
A shot further away of my blind. I set it up near the tree so
I would have a bit more natural cover.
I would have a bit more natural cover.
The view from the blind w/ the mesh hood back... yes, those
are my size 13 feet in the picture.
So, I have finally figured out all the info I need on geese. I know when they feed, where they go to feed based on the topography/geography of the areas and I just need to be able to get better at my goose call to bring them down to meet my decoys :)
Training wise, things are going GREAT. Down a total of 8lbs from last Monday when I started training. Been getting some low running miles and low biking miles in. P90X has been GREAT as well. Feel amazing after the lifting. I have been adjusting my food a bit, I was down to 1,000-1,500 calories a day and realized that I can't sustain the workouts and daily function on that. So I bumped it up a bit and have been feeling a bit more alert.
The calf issue has kind of worked itself out, with thanks to Heather's Normatec recovery boots. 5 Straight days of wearing them for a bit over an hour each time and the minimal running/riding seems to have remedied whatever the heck was going on. Hoping it's fully gone and not going to continue to rear it's ugly head w/ future racing/working out.
Thanks for reading!

nice work
excellent photos
the view from your blind!
nice hunting! Please kill off all the geese you can before they get down to NC. I really hate them and my wife won't let me kill them here. What are you going to find where there are geese? goose shit. Stupid birds shit everywhere down here.
Yeah!!! That looks awesome! I could barely see your blind Those decoys look so realistic Too bad you didn't get one
Good work on the weight. I just started to lose mine. :)
My guys don't do much bird hunting - no geese. Not sure why. Looks like SO much fun (sarcasm noted). Glad training and dieting is going well.
