Rhode Island late geese - weekend 1 - Day 2

Day two found us on the same farm, a few hundred yards northwest of where we hunted the yesterday. We moved where the birds were in the afternoon after our hunt.  Today we sat on a hill, in between rows of old pepper plants.  The crew was Jim, Jay, Kyle, myself and a friend,  Dave, who hadn't been on a field goose hunt to date.

With the exception of one lone single at 7:30, the birds didn't fly until about 9:30.  We were loading the gear back on the tractor about an hour later with a five man limit. Again today, one bird was banded, another Massachusett's resident, banded in 2009. I took the honors on this one, although had I shot a second later it would belong to Jim!

Something to snack on while we hunted...I actually tried one, still had good flavor.

Today's jewelry, It had pitting all over it, saltwater damage maybe?
