Thread: Hunter's Rain

There is what I call a good goosing wind. It's a cracker southerly and it's key feature is that it hits like a freight train. Before it hits it's a fine day, afterwards there is sideways rain and winds strong enough that you have to pin your goose decoys down with tent pegs. The thing that makes this good hunting conditions is that everything with feathers sits out in the middle of the water when it's calm and then relocated to somewhere more sheltered when the waves get whitecaps on them. This is about the only time you have a predictable goose movement hence "it's a good goosing wind today".

Then there is the 'even the ducks are walking rain' which comes straight into your face mixed with sleet as you zig zag your way up through a tussock saddle. Cursing the fact that your transistor batteries went flat a week ago and you misread the sky this morning.
