Got out for the last thirty minutes of shooting time today. No birds taken, but we did have speckled bellies dive bomb our spread. Flared at the last second, so no shots. Heart pumping. Enjoyed the time with my son. He goes to college this fall, squeezing in every opportunity we can find.

We are still learning, and adding to our ‘spread.’

I also did not notice the face in the photo until Scott mentioned it! I am pretty sure I would not be good at that kind of hunting because if I laid down in the sunlight, all bundled up and warm on a winter day, I would fall asleep long before a goose came by.

The last time (15 years ago) me and my goose hunting partners used layout blinds it was a hoot - I was the only one who could jump up. I had to jump up and shoot, then pull my Dad up, hand him the shotgun, drop down, and let him shoot - needless to say we only got a very few geese. Told the guide he had to come up with another plan!! OH

Cool pics Steve. Thanks for sharing. God's canvas for sure. I love Winter landscape shots. The cold, not so much as I get older. Hope you had a wonderful time with your folks.

Is that Greenville at Moosehead Lake?

[Steve Warden]

No, but I know the view heading down toward Moosehead from Greenville. That's in Addison, downeast. If you know where Ellsworth is on Rt 1 (gotta go through there to get to Bar Harbour), it's about an hour further up Rt 1.

Great pics Steve

[Doc B]

Very pretty. That middle picture is frame-worthy!

[Steve Warden]

Thanks doglegg and Doc B.
I was already thinking about getting that middle pic enlarged and framed. It's an old crabapple tree our kids used to climb on some 25-30 years ago.

Absolutely beautiful Steve!! Happy for you!!
Would love to do it again some day.

We really like German Shorthaired Pointers as a breed. I ran across this video and enjoyed it and thought some of you may as well. Hope so.
