how many birds did you get?
where were you hunting?
what method did you use?
how many days did you hunt?
did any geese have leg bands?


We (me and a friend) got 28 birds.
we hunted near hackettstown
we used 20 decoys in fields with calls in the AM.
we hunted 7 days. got skunked 3 times.
no birds had leg bands.

4 of us ended up with 43 birds for the season could have shot more but what do you do with all the geese. Next hunt will be in November.

The reason I said "never speak of #'s" Is because it basically looks bad for hunters.
But here's my season:
We (me and 6 different friends at different times & places) got a bunch of geese.
we hunted near hackettstown, Washington, clinton, newton & Long Valley
We used from 6 to 48 decoys (full bodies, silos, shells, floaters) & flags either in fields or on the water.
we hunted to many days LOL. got skunked 2 time.
All most forgot & we'll be out tomorrow too

I beg to differ. Season harvests should never be put on a open board.
Early season is 26 days, Limit is 8. How would it look is I said we hunted 20 of those days & took 250 geese? It's not that hard that # isn't even filling limits.
(just my opinion)
Looks bad.
Tim did you see the sunrise????? LOL
