That would have been 100 times better in person, but it was about like watching "The Blair Witch Project."

I have always said that LST should be extended to 1 hour after sunset for field hunting Canada Geese, but it will never happen.

A group of guys had permission for the same field, and one of his buddies was blowing a long honker and he was right next to me haha.

Yea sorry it was hard to move the camera around because it was tight and my blind had a ton of brush on it and the birds were coming from all over so I was trying to get it all.

I have another 10 min video but I figured that would suffice.

You should have been using your camera to record all season! It takes pretty good video. The big camera missed your kill shot on that last hunt by the way. I couldn't believe it.
