Thanks, Stan. Went out early to area feed-lot with pond for early Goose season- Drew a blank, but wow- doves and barn pigeons all over the cut hay field near the pond- had about ten goose dekes out, the pigeons were landing in and around them-but Not going to use a steel shot LOAD ON THE POOPSTERS--call me a cheapskate (and you'd be right) but at a buck a pop (steel loads 2&3/4"- the 3" loads even more- I just had to watch them- No geese- too early I guess-but nothing better than watching the sun rise in the eastern sector and Nature awakening.

Maybe sometime we'll visit Fl. in the Fall (and try to stop en route and meet you folks in GA--) This Fall, we are going to Niagara Falls, and then down to Gettysburg before we head back to MI-- Miss a few for me when the season starts in Jawja-- Francis
