Hi Guys, Well, after having geese in the fields
for two weeks the last week before the season open their were none anywhere
to be found. Harold, Eddie and I went anyway, of-course.
We saw one flock of geese that went overhead and killed two. I didn't
hit anything but air. We stayed and hunted both morning and than
in the evening, but just know geese. Weather is to cool off,
so maybe that will help things and even if it doesn't, it is nice
to be able to get out in the field. donald From Delmarva
Monday, Sept 3, 2001 Eddie and I hunted the morning and had
one flock come. Eddie killed one, me zip. I am having
trouble with my new shells not loading in my gun. Seems they are
showing the BBB pellets in a bulge at the end of the shell and stick in
the magazine. Case of shells that are no good to me! Eddie and I hunted the evening at
a puddle in a big field. Could have killed several Mallards and a
Black duck. Again one flock of geese. I had gone to shooting
my reloads. This time it was me that killed the goose. Seems
two a day is it for us. From Delmarva
Tuesday, Sept 4, 2001 Harold and I went this morning, but
the geese that came to the field went in the back of the field, about
75. Harold walked down to see if he could get close to them,
but they wouldn't let him. He had waked about a mile to get behind
them and went they jumped they came on out toward me. One end of
the flock was close enough and with my reloads I put 2 down. Harold, Eddie and I hunted this evening.
We had seen some geese in a field and setup to see if any would come back.
Had four flocks, two that we shot at. Came home with three
more. Five for the day and broke our record. We know of 14
that we have killed, but not found all of them. It's 0130am
and I can't sleep, hearing geese moving NOW, so I guess it
will be new birds in the morning for Harold and I. From Delmarva Wednesday, Sept 6, 2001 Harold and I. One shot at birds that
circled from a 100 yds in the air. Just like wild ones. Beautiful!
Shot them over dekes. We each got one and a great memory.
donald Thursday, Sept 6, 2991 Jeff and I. One shot. I got
one, Jeff got two. Jeff took the boat and went for blind sites.
I went to bed. donald
Friday, Sept 7, 2001 Jeff and I. One shot as they flew
overhead low. I got one, Jeff got his two. Eddie and I setup a new field. One
single came early and set out in the field at 100 yds and when Eddie went
out to jump him it flew right over his head on the way out. One dumb
dead goose. We then shot at one flock overhead and we each killed
2 more. Five was plenty so we left with geese coming to the field.

Saturday, Sept 8, 2001 Harold, Eddie and I. We had
two shots. I killed two each time. Killed 5 more. I was
to go out with Pat that evening, plus we had plenty of geese to skin.
That's 32 in the truck so far this season, skinned most all of them
for dekes this winter. donald
Sunday, Sept 9, 2001 Woke up late to find that a drug party
had happen at my grandsons shed. My new BPS stolen out of a locked
truck. Called the law, but they will not do anything about
it. They said they would put me in jail if I hit him.
Grandson is being sent to stay with his dad. donald From Delmarva Tuesday, Sept 18, 2001 Hi Guys, Lost a few days! Ended the season
for local with 35 birds, most all skinned for mounting. Replaced
my shotgun with the same Browning BPS, that is in camo. Thank
God for insurance. Now if we could just do something with the Grandson!
The law does nothing! He is sure, he can do anything he wants
and nothing is to be done about it. Course it's impossible to sit
and watch him every minute. I spent yesterday mounting geese and catching
cats. Hauled 9 of the damn things away from here. Don't think
the folks next door saw me and if they did I don't care. Sunny had broke one of her due-claw nails
while hunting locals and I took her to the Vet. He pulled the nail
out and she is out of commission for a few days. Seems to be healing
OK. Looking forward to a hunt with Jeff and
Bill on Thursday for Teal. Nothing at Cabin Creek.
donald From Delmarva Oct 2001 Figgered I would write this morning and
let you know I am alive. Been killing a few Snows on De. public hunting
grounds, but this morning there was no one at the checkin station.
The public hunting is managed so baddy that one wants to try to hunt it.
It was an 1 1/2 ride for me for nothing.
If
anyone is reading these letters, it would be nice to have an account of
what your life is like. I would love to hear from you.
