How I quit goose hunting...

Several years ago my lovely wife suggested I give up goose hunting.

She provided me with an alternate scenario.

I could dress up in my gear, and go sit on a lawn chair in the back yard. Ever fifteen minutes she would come out, and pour hot coffee on both hands.

After three hours she would have me walk the dogs a mile over to the grocery store and buy a goose.

I had a very hard time arguing with her logic at the time...

Rich:

My wife uses similar "logic" about my turkey hunting.

I guess up there she'd have to cover you with snow, but down here she should just spray you with cold water, when you aren't expecting it, aiming for neck area.

Too bad the dog has to endure it too.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

I had forgotten the spray me down with the hose part.

The dogs thought it was fun...

My wife's step-dad tells it like this. He was invited goose hunting down here where they live in winter -- rice fields, etc. "There I was, in the dark and rain, waiting for the sun to come up and things to start happening." "I realized after a n hour or two of this nonsense -- I am wet. I am cold. I have a gun in my hands. I am not in Korea. I do NOT have to do this!!!"
