Post 30+ dekes; persistence; FINALLY SOME RAIN and some birds...
This past saturday 12/29; Don and I headed to our spot and put out every duck and goose decoy we had...fortunately we had received some much needed rain along with some rough weather north of us - it seems the birds were more present...we saw woodies, malards, mergansers, ringnecks, lesser scaup and lots of air carp working for us...once while we were out in the boat retrieving some bluebills, we had a family flock of about 12 cans land right in our spread...we would've been 20yards away... :oops: earlier in the day we managed to kill a few...one around 12# - big bird! gonna give it one more try to cook a goose - havent found an edible recipe yet... if anyone has thoughts on that - let me know.
thanks for letting me share the pix...

The Waterfowlers are in full swing now it seems.. congrats guys..

I still have not ever made it on a waterfowl hunt.. I'm now afraid to.. as I might find myself with yet another obsession and I don't need that :)
