how long did it take to get 5 ?
About 5 flocks. All told it took an hour to shoot 45 geese. I limited quick because they kept landing on the end of my barrel. I shot 8 shells.

I spent the rest of the time videoing the flocks coming in on top of us and the guys wearing them out.

Don't you hate it when that happens! Feels like a B52 is about to land on you.

I love it. I think it's awesome but it can be a little creepy when they're literally trying to land on you.

It's funny how one day you can't keep them off you if you were dancing a jig but other days there's nothing you can do to attract a single,

Well done! Hard to beat a good day blasting Canadians (and no I'm not referring to Brickburn). All we've got up here in western KY right now are a few ducks and some specks. I'm just now getting back into waterfowl hunting after about a 10 year hiatus. I'm told the Canadian geese rarely make it here in significant numbers anymore, which is why it surprises me to see so many in Texas. Different flyway, I guess.

Hi, I was wondering where you lived. I am near Auburn. Are the loaded Norma AFrames factory ammunition? Thanks, Richard

Hi James, congratulations on winning a copy of Cries of the Savanna! I appreciate your interest in the book and hope you enjoy it.

I am leaving in an hour for the airport to meet up with my husband for a week so I will mail it as soon as I get home. I am sorry about the poor timing and making you wait.

Anyway, send me your address and I will get it in the mail as soon as I can.

Thanks again for entering!

Sue
