Scouting mish successful.

Was mucking around at home close to dark and decided to head out to the Bro in laws farm as there were a few geese flying around last time I was home from work.

They are usually moving between 6 and 6:15 pm. Got setup in a wee hole around 5:30 but idn't hear a honk for over an hour. Passed up shooting at half a dozen easy ducks while waiting for the flight. Nothing moving so I head back to the truck around 6:30, unload the gun and put it away. I noticed some rabbits on my drive in so grabbed the thermal and .22 and went for a quick look handy to the truck. I got round 50m from the truck when I heard a few honks coming right at me. Around 20 geese flew 10 yards above me on the way to their paddock and I was standing there with no bloody shotgun.��

Decided it was not my night so headed home. Will give them another go tomorrow nite and not give up so early.

Thermal and the 22 would make short work of em and no pesky pellets to dig out
