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

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.

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.

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.
