Ducks and geese

Went out a goosin this AM. Got three singles to toll to the decoys(we each shot once) before the birds really started moving. Got the decoys set up by 7:30 and we were back to the house(visiting the farmer and his wife) before 9:00. Watched the geese piling into the pond on the farm till about 10:00 Probably had about 4000 in there by the time we left. Watched the guys next door ..uhh...er...ahhh shoot at geese till they finally limited. They had a crazy dog that kept running out into the field flaring the geese. Anyway...saw a few ducks ...finally...pair of pintails flew over out of range but we saw about 40 ducks theis am. and my friend with the duck hunting place told me this noon that they have about 5000 ducks staying in their ponds all of a sudden. Oh.. forgot to mention I shot one drake mallard that swung the edge of the decoys. Only duck that looked at our field setup. Might have to put out a few duck decoys Monday. Have a couple of people to take out to get a goose. Part of our deal for hunting the farm. Have to take out family and friends. Tough job ...but somebody has to do it. Guess I'll just have to suffer through it. Maybe the ducks be movin in. Hope so. We'll be shootin the pond Monday. probably shoot a few ducks too. BTW the woodies are almost all gone south.
