Where I am talking about, you will NOT get the geese in tight. It's pass shooting or no shooting. Back when I could still count my lifetime total of geese on my fingers and toes, it was very different. Now, I got something out of my freezer the other day and realized I need to eat more goose because I'm not going to end up cleaning out the freezer before the September season starts.
After you have shot a few hundred, the priorities should be very different and long before you have shot that many.aunt betty wrote:After you clean and eat a few hundred ducks
If you shoot and kill the bird, you aren't blowing it for anyone else any more than if you shoot that bird feet down over the decoys. If you enjoy pass shooting, great. If not, great. It's not the people killing birds that are doing anything wrong. It's the people not killing the birds by shooting at birds they have no real chance that are legitimately screwing things up for other people.aunt betty wrote:why blow it for everyone by shooting a passing wood duck or whatever.
We are not allowed to pass shoot ducks at our club. Geese we are because as I said, other than the fields we have made for hunting geese, at least 90% of the geese will be pass shooting outside of early goose. Ducks have to be down well below the trees. No pass shooting. Our blinds are too close and you often get ducks that swing over you on the way to someone else.
