Dave’s thing In the early 1800s, grizzly bears were one of the biggest threats to cattle. While the Anglo-American style was to use heavy artillery to control threatening bears, the vaqueros preferred to rope them from the back of a well-trained horse. This method of bear control required a great deal of skill and was a dying vaquero art. 

What can we learn from this?

 Back to the quacken on Sunday.  

Early decoys, easily smoked one that came in.  buddy smoked another later.  Landed on the ground with a really satisfying thud.

Things slowed down; birds weren’t flying so we took the boat out and went after em

Straight to the islands I wanted to hit this time of year.  

There was a whole herd of deer on the biggest island and it’s at least a half mile swim.  Wonder if they swam out there or got stuck when it thawed.

Snuck up on some geese.  Not really sneaky or stealthy in a canoe but, it worked.  They didn’t care about us and we got close enough for me to swat one.  Caternary is a bitch.

Moved on down the islands and found like 8 dozen ducks, some more geese and a few cormorans.  Don’t shoot cormorans.

He took a shot and missed at the swarm of ducks.  I had an opportunity for the geese that lit off but didn’t have my gun in my hands so, whatever.

We rowed off elsewhere, and in the process a Gadwall headed straight for us.  I dropped it with a nice splash.

started heading back for the trucks and honed in on some more geese.   Kept a slow approach but they did not care one iota about us.  Their mistake.

Managed to close in 50 yards, swatted one, dropped a second as they “fled”.  Buddy shot two.  The rest of them just kinda hung out like “Frank!  Henry!  Noooo!”  I would have shot two more, but I couldn’t remember the limit so  I left it.  Turns out it’s five, not three.

Packaged up the geese and froze em and made duck teriyaki with the breasts.  Nom nom nom.

All in all I am feeling much more comfortable with the Advocate and the 1187.  Not thinking about shots, just going by feel.  Except for caternary… that’s a bitch.

Right after that, some boat pulls up and yells at us about goose season.
