As I quietly approached the south end of Fallen Arch Lake on a grouse hunting hike in a remote area of northern Minnesota, I could hear geese “honking.” It was that magical time between first light and sunrise. Sure enough, as I got close to the lake on from an old logging road, a small flock Canada geese were enjoying the early October morning as was I. It was the time of their annual migration and I was sure this was just an overnight stopover, very soon they’d be long gone for points south.
