Don't know if it is a good hunting story or not but finally made it out for something. Went to Johns River WRA for waterfowl. In the immortal words od Parker, it was an armed nature hike.

Saw a few geese and fewer ducks. All but two Hooded Bergs were at >100yds. The Hoodies were maringally in range, maybe, but the skedaddled quickly and who wants a Merg?

But, I saw, among other things, a couple of Peregrines and a couple Northern Shrikes, plus a few other odd birds, One elk skeleton and one Cackling Goose partial skeleton. Nice weather, nice drive.

Johns used to have lots of birds.
