We braved the opening day crowd on the lake and by leaving out extra early secured a prime location. Five of us shooting, limits of ducks and geese all around. Ducks were about 85% greenwing teal, few mallards, a gadwall, one bluewing, and a single redhead.
We sent the boys who were set up near us to school on the goose shooting. Just as we finished up on ducks the geese started to fly hard. We had a big spread of goose floaters out so we stayed for a bit thinking to give them a chance. Nate and I worked our calls to deadly effect, we had our 10 geese in the boat in another half hour and none of the crews around us had fired a shot.
