Annual Thanksgiving Goose Hunt
For almost ten years now, my family has a tradition of going on a goose hunt the day after Thanksgiving. A couple of things caused us to have to do this on Saturday this year. Well, I'll cut to the chase, the hunt was an absolute bust (from a hunting perspective). Its ALWAYS a good thing to get out with your friends/family and spent time outdoors.

The birds were there but they were certainly not coming to this field. We saw lots of flocks and they were moving and even in the wind and rain they were still flying pretty high. With the front moving through and the cold temperature setting in with the soaking rain (and the fact that we hadn't shot a bird), we called it a day at 10am. Quite discouraging to say the least. It is also probably the wettest I have ever ...
