I have only seen one goldeneye in my life. I was working on a decoy when he came in. I had taken a guy new to the sport and he saw it as it was flying towards us and asked what it was. All I could tell him was SHOOT IT!!!!! Three shots and it flew away unscathed
Congrats on closing it out in a good way
Thats one good morning! congrats!
Fine shoot. boys from the south would kill for some golden eyes like that.
