2009 has been a great year. Went to Johns River for ducks. Lacking a boat or retriever cuts down on the options.

While i was setting up my decoys had a flock of geese fly over. Two shots later and I had my first goose in more than 40 years of bird hunting. A young of the year white-front.

That was it. Despite the wind and intermittent rain there were no ducks around. The geese kept working, though, and a couple other hunters got seven or eight.
