What's your plan???

Well I don't know about a flooded creek bottom, but I do know that geese and woodies love mid to large sized creeks around here in the early season, like September and October. Did you set decoys up? Or just kinda pass shooting them? Because I have never seen any kind of numbers on creeks around here, just pairs of honkers mostly and a few woodies scattered here and there.

What really sucks is we see most of them during the spring during turkey season. I hunt turkeys with a buddy near one of the creeks we see them on and they're everywhere during the spring. :twisted:

the other day there was 200 sittin down there and we just had about doz deks set up in the water and on the bank. shot 2 yesterday and 1 today heres some picture of what we were hunting exactly, there was a bunch of weed they were coming into feed on. they are comein off a lake just up the creek from where we are. and we can hunt the lake right by where they were flying down. they stoped comen down now b/c they got shoot off you think i would be any good to hunt where they were comen down now?

We have a river here that we hunt that looks like that at normal level. I know small river right but until you have seen it when it rains cant say much about it. Anyway we usually hunt it with the last 3 weeks to go in season once everything freezes and the vegetation dies off around it. we do the same thing with the deeks but we use mostly sleepers and feeders. both floaters and land standing deeks. We will bring alond maybe 3 dozen and only 3-4 sentry/callers. works like a charm. lots of low groans and feeding murmurs.
