Every 3 minutes a goose dropped

A Double limit in 30 Minutes.
When we were out calling yesterday we came across an open place in the ice that was calling to us to hunt geese. Today My son and B-I-L headed back this morning. The moon is full and the geese have been feeding all night. They took the power game cart full of decoys and set up. The lake is extremely low and there was a "Land Bridge" connecting two large pools of frozen water.
There was an open spot next to the bridge. The mud was mostly frozen. Then they waited for shooting time. The geese were coming back and landing in the deeks. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. shoot...
Geese everywhere flying, some coming in some going out I wish I could have seen that, what a sight. anyway a Half hour in to shooting they had to stop. They said the geese kept coming in and landing while they where picking up decoys. 
MAN I love it when a Plan comes together...

	That's awesome. One of the most exciting things I can think of is a bunch of geese coming into a group of decoys.
	I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
