Not quite a complete bust

15 minutes from my home, we sat in a very dry paddock amongst heaps of desiccated goose kak. The sun beat down, and Matt and I were waiting for Tony to return from a scout around the property to find the geese we could hear in the near distance. When Tony returned and told us that a family group had been set up 300 metres from us and that they flew in the opposite direction we weren't terribly surprised. Goose hunting is about being where the birds are using, and despite Matt having scouted the property and seen 100 birds sitting where we were now setup, it appeared that we were a day or 2 too late.

Not much food here - its dryyyyyyy

Racking up more hours sitting in a layout not seeing anything - well it happens and it wont be the last time. Have to say that having a property close by for an evening shoot on the ducks is appealing.

On our way home, Tony & Matt found the main body of the birds.

Next time... (only a week away!)
