Hey BBVD,

Congrats on your goose. Where did you do your hunting? We did pretty good on opening weekend too. Four geese and four ducks on Moses Lake and the potholes. We would have done a he!! of a lot better if not for some idiots nearby us.

We must have called in 6 to 8 large flocks of ducks and geese, and when they were circling our spread of dekes, they would pass over these guys who were 400 to 500 yards away from us on an island. These SOB's were taking passing shots that must have been 60 to 80 yards out! I can't count how many shots they took, and only one bird fell!

I hate to think how many poor birds flew off with a few pellets in them. Guys like this can ruin it for everyone. And our calling and decoys are the only reason these guys got a shot anyways.

Anyhow, enough *****ing. Congrats on your birds! Drop me an e-mail if you want to talk hunting. I have not done much waterfowl hunting on this side of the hills. We usually head to Eastern Washington.

Good Hunting,
Joe
