Opening day of the wildfowling hunting season

[James Adamson]

Great to be out again with the gun and the hound for the first day of the wildfowling season. I have been wildfowling since I was 13, i am nearly 40 now and still i cant sleep the night before opening day. I was up and making coffee for the flask at half 3 and in the field for half 4 all set up ready to watch the world come alive. The first geese started coming in at half 5 and by 7 I had 6 geese in the bag and a very happy labrador.

Great pic! Thanks for posting.
It's dove season here in Texas and I shot my limit yesterday on opening day.

Great hunt! Are those greylags? Our Alabama seasons start September 4 for resident geese and the 11th for dove and teal, after hurricane Ida teal and water everywhere behind the house. Maybe they will stick around for a change!

Yes they are greylags, we get the pinkfeet passing through in October but they dont usually hang around for long. Barnacle geese too but they are protected.
