Geese flying over this hunter's blind on the north side of Big Chapman Lake might be in for a bit of a shock. Early goose season officially opened Sept. 1 and runs through the 15th. Canada goose season runs Oct. 16 through 24 and Nov. 20 through Jan. 5. This hunter has his boat adequately camouflaged and the geese you see floating are decoys. No word on the hunter's success.
