PA is getting to be a tuff place to be a decent sportsman.

Yep, I hate that crap. Ran into it about 5 or so years ago at a farm I have been hunting for over 20 years now. The guys were complete idiots, but I still hunted in with them rather than set up somewhere else and compete with them. We all ended up having a pretty good day.

I hear you about opening day. I actually skip the early season now. It is too hot and it is too easy to kill the birds. I don't want to have to deal with 10+ birds in 90+ degree weather. It is bad enough trying to keep dead doves cool until I get home.

Kind of like the year we got to "hunt" a golf course. We killed 35 geese. We could just walk up to them and start shooting them at every hole along the course. It was pathetic, but they were a nuisance.

Like Skeet said, it is a dirty job and somebody has to do it. Rather it be you than me. With that said, if one of my buddies called me up and wanted me to goose hunt with them, I would probably go.
