Congrats on the geese. I know what you mean about taking care of the itch. Alabama's goose season came in again this past weekend. I wasn't able to go because I was teaching advanced shotgun at the Alabama Dept of Conservation outdoor EXPO in Birmingham. I'm a volunteere hunter ed instructor.
The early resident goose season that opened Sept 1 filled my trigger itch for a while. My friend and I managed 27 in 3 hunts one banded also. LOL Only thing this band said"Montgomery Zoo #8" We were hunting about a mile from the zoo. Also have hit the early real and dove season.
Tree rats opened today, so I may have to try for a few this week.
