Hello There:
I'm heading out in the morning for my first goose hunt of the year in the NW Permit Area. Is anyone else going to be out there? Any recent reports?
It seems like the geese are pretty thick right now. I'll post a report on what I see tomorrow.
Hunter Nate.

Well, I headed out early on Saturday and was suprised to find dry weather. I hunt public land along the Columbia and I found a hunter in the first spot that I tried to go to in the boat so I talked with him for a minute and moved on about a mile to set up.
I had a few flights decoy in from 8-8:30 and got off 5 shots in all - I took 2 really nice, big Westerns, hit two others hard (I could have made a small pillow out the feathers that came out of them) and missed another clean. It was fun to call them in and 2 wasn't a bad start. We roasted one of them yesterday and it was good to eat.
I'll see if I can post a photo tonight!
Did anyone else go out? The guy at the check station hadn't checked very many birds when I checked out. Maybe it was the semi bluebird day? The geese that I saw were not very decoy shy yet.
Hunter Nate.

Here comes my try at posting the photo on my lawn:  The larger of the two geese was big an heavy - it takes a pretty good hit to bring them down. Hunter Nate. ;D |

still got my permit but haven't gone or even got my federal stamp. seems like all i was getting were cacklers and taverners. if i stay local i get the big westerners. funny story though- first year i got my permit i seen the dotted line on the permit and cut it and threw the tag part away, yep got me a couple of geese to take to the check station and dooohhhh. mr. police officer shows up at my house two days later and hands me a $125.oo fine for it. didn't cut that line again. good job on the geese!!
