duckydoty Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Today was the last day of resident goose season in Missouri. Team Ducky made a go of it. Brother Dave, Daddy Doty, and I headed out before daylight and set up on a grassy flat on Table Rock Lake. Our set up concisted of one standing goose decoy and grass covered tarps to lay under. 10 minutes after getting settled in, the 1st group of geese flew over. 30-35 birds just out of range. 10 minutes later a group of 6 came right in and all of them fell from the sky. Layed there another hour and a half before deciding to try some crappie fishing. We fished pole timber all the way to the next flat and saw the 1st group of geese that had flown over us earlier. Pulled out the trolling motor, trimmed the Merc. out of the water, put the fishing gear down and let the wind blow us right up to them. After narrowing the distance via the wind to 45 yards, the geese got up and flew right to us. Finished our limits and headed to Taney for some late afternoon and night fishing. 175782_4236314864456_1605553163_o.jpg A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!!

BilletHead Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Good going and welcome back Duane. Mrs. BilletHead and I went out three times and I did a Solo once. We ended up with seven for the early season. Lots of birds around but tougher to work this year as opposed to last early season. We did really good for early teal though. How was hunting in the land of the midnite sun?

How was hunting in the land of the midnite sun? Looking forward to your reports, maybe a visit or a hunt, BilletHead Thanks Marty! Hunting up north was fantastic. Lots of pintails, mallards, wigeon, green wings, and cackling geese on coastal ponds and slews. When I get a chance, I'll get some pictures posted on here. Looking forward to getting a hunt or two in with you this year. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at..

duckydoty Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ducky- Glad to see you made a safe trip back. Perhaps we will see you on the duck pond. Hope to see you out there. Saw lots of ducks on the James River Arm up above point 15 and hearing good reports about lower Taney. Looking like it's gonna be a great year for the ducks.
