Apparently the ducks were exceptionally jilenhlul and virtually everyone took their limit within a lew hours Thirr laige ilucks ot Canada geese have arrived on Like St Fianeis as well, about a week ahead ot time.

It looks as though it's L'oing to be an early fall in general it vim pay any attention to Nature signs. For instance. I hear that the lust Hock of geese were spotted on a I'enn-ylvaiua golf course late last week. That's good week ahead of normal. It this keep up we can expect some heavy lliglits ol woodcock around the middle ot next month with most ol the birds moving oul ol Quebec coverts around Oct.

Canada geese have been pouring in steadily over the past week and should piovide some evciting shooting tins coming weekend Ol course, it also means the sneakers will be out on the water and that's usiialh good ioi a laugh or two You lust notice the sneakers when a Hock of geese comes oil the headland to light on the water. Discretely two or three blinds mil anchor and start their slow and steady ambush They move so slow you can barely discern any movement as they try to close in on the rafting birds As they get closer the birds, too. start drifting along, just barely outside effective shotgun range and the game goes on until the hunters' patience finally wears thing and someone gets up to take a shot. That, of course, lifts the whole Hock off the water and the rest of the hunters empty their guns at the departing geese.

The Hock then settles down elsewhere on the lake and the game starts all over again. Unsporting act It's a shame th.it a lot ol Quebec hunters still try to up on geese, both on land and water. It's unsporting and, at times, illegal. In an area used so heavily by migrating gee.se one would expect goose hunting to have evolved into a highly sophisticated art. On.

the contrary. Quebecers try to surprise ratting geese in floating blinds drive the farm roads in hopes of spotting a feeding Hock and maybe drop one if luck is with them, or blast away with high powered rifles at a I lock on some backwoods pond during the moose hunting season. All of Hiese methods are primitive and Anyone who has ever watched geese knows that they are creatures il habit with favored grain fields and well delined flight corridors to and Irom water. There's no reason why a good caller with a dozen field decoys shouldn't consistently come back with Canadas. It may sound like hard work hauling a dozen decoys through and across ditches and fences, but it's not really.

Silhouette decoys are highly productive, light, easy to carry and cheap to make. I've heard a lot about ceramic guides lor fishing rods. They're supposed to be good, but what are they?
