I stocked up at the recently opened chain hunting store and built a hunting blind where Dad suggested.
Worried that any artificial light might scare the geese off, I propped up a night vision camera on a tripod to serve as my eyes.
Only three nights after I found the mountain goose by my drive, Penny and I climbed up into our camouflaged hut a little after sundown.
I turned off my headlamp and we got comfortable.
No moon showed itself from behind the clouds.
Cold set in as we waited, but Penny and I had done this often.
She lay across my feet and I cracked a few hot packs in my pockets when my fingers started to feel it.
Then there was movement.
A green shape crossed the still picture on the camera and I jumped at it, overeager.
Penny knew me well and only raised her head for a moment to check whether it was time.
She relaxed again as I watched a deer stride into the camera frame and I chuckled to myself.
Of course, the creatures that the feed was intended for.
A whole herd strolled into the clearing.
They milled about, acting as I had ever seen them do, except that normally it would be the ass-end of dawn.
It was strange to see them so active closer to midnight, something that only happened when feeding schedules changed, either theirs or those of predators.
As the herd snuffled at the feeder, I started to worry they would take it all and leave none for the mountain geese.
I tapped my fingers on my knees, a nervous tick made silent, and watched an owl settle on the tree opposite through the camera viewfinder.
It seemed to be watching the deer with me, visible only as a pair of flashing eyes.
A few minutes later, something heavy landed on a branch of the tree under which we sheltered.
Penny whimpered.
