the first time i ever went waterfowling was early canadas with my FIL up in michigan. we did alright and got three birds. when we first packed up he hid the birds under our gear in the boat then started up the motor and, to my surprise, headed away from the ramp. he circled way around the lake so that we were approaching the ramp from the other direction entirely. then he pulled the geese up on top of the gear where they could be seen and told me that if anybody asks, we got them "back there". sure enough, we get to the ramp and two other groups see us an immediately ask where we got them, then look in the direction we approached the ramp from. my FIL is not a shady guy, so for him to take those precautions and to go through that kind of trouble, I knew he was teaching me something that I had better pay attention to.
if you can't be good, be good at it
