Goose hunt

Not a bad day today. We've had better shoots, but today we were pretty fortunate.

The first 2 geese we shot were banded. My son shot 1 and my buddy Grant shot the other.

The next group of birds were snows. I shot 1 and my son shot the other. His was banded!

We ended the day with 6 geese and 1 greenhead.

Info on the bands:

Snow goose banded in the NWT in 2000.

Canada Geese banded in Nevada in 2001.

I'm thinking of getting it mounted for him for a graduation gift. Here's a good pose. What do you guys think? Do you think he might like that?

Graduation is in late May. I'm hoping I can have it back by then. I don't normally have a lot of animals mounted but right now I have my elk and my banded mallard being done. This is going to be a blow to the taxidermy bill for the year.

I'm pitching it as a graduation gift to the wife so it's easier to justify to her. She doesn't hunt so she doesn't completely grasp the banded bird trophy thing! She could see the excitement in Josh's eyes last night when he was showing her the "jewelry" so I pitched the idea right then. I'll bring it up again tonight. Hopefully she goes along with it!
