Default Way to go

Where I live we have lots of birds but not a shot has been fired. It used to be you'd hear gun shots starting about 2 hours before sun-up.

I'm afraid that we are a dying breed.

Keep it alive guys.

Do these blinds work well? The geese don't mind flying and landing around them ?

Early in the season they work amazing.As the flocks get shot up location and placement become critical to succeed.

Was it legal to shoot 2 hours before sun up at one point?
