good luck to all Hopefully we shoot half as many geese last year we shot 51 the first three days thats going to be tough I will post my results save some for sunday and kill everyone in a small flock we need no tatel tales

Opening morning was good for us in Wisconsin. We shot 35 geese in 3 hours. 3 bands
If you can find the field they want, you are set!
Good luck everyone!

Good luck to you guys. my sons are so fired up they are 9 and 12yrs old. I dont even care if I shoot a goose just as long as the boys get some shooting. I will also post results and pics.

im packin 3 boxes of steel 6's along for doves and pigeons. our field will probably be a 1 flock and done deal so gotta get my shooting where i can! 4 hours to go!

I had the worst opening day of goose hunting I have ever had. We saw some geese but they did not want anything to do with our spread and no one elses in our area either. I heard of one goose being killed where normally there is six hundred geese on the opening morning. It should get better when all the geese get shot other places but for right now I need to find a new field.

heard alot when we headed out at o dark 30 waited till twelve and shot a a group of five dropped three out and one loner five guys four geese nothing compaired last year openening day with 18 but atleast we still shot something givin it a go ta mara to

Hunted a farm pond with 4 buddies we ended up with 13

Ended up with 33 birds for 8 of us. 5 were banded. Have pictures but forgot how to post!

I was ouside all day today and hear very little shooting if the Farmington area.

It was poor in the area I hunted (central OT County). Very quiet morning, few birds flying, very little shooting and the most hunters I've seen.

It's important to get the "hot" field I guess and it wasn't hot today.

Not a lot of birds in the area like there was just a month ago. This has been the story the past 5 years...

killed one. should've had 6. did a shot comparison with winchester, federal, and kent fast steel after hunting today, will never buy the win. expert hi velocity again, The shot has divets all over each BB, where the kent and federal is round and smooth. (2 people, 6 shots with winchester 3.5" BB ammo, 4 geese flyin 25 yards max, pulled a few feathers, something is definatley wrong. buying new ammo for tommorow!!!!!!!!

really slow this morning only one loner in the bag seen more geeses leave the lake ta de but very few came back pulled at 1130, not a very good start to the year could be a tough year on the water.

mnhunter79 are you sure you just didn't plain miss? I have shot several honkers with No.2 Xpert steel at twenty five yards or more. Did you actually try patterning your different loads? You might be surprised.

It went pretty well for us of 6 guys, 50 birds, 1 band.

6 man 30 bird limit



6 guys 20 birds, 1 band

I have the same problem ben I have patterned it with cardboard @ 25 yards wholes all over the pattern (as is gaps between BB's ) but every gun differs try it sometime.
