Two Bears sets caught nothing.
1337 Ruddy Duck ♂ 457.5 g shot together
or ringer
♀ 458.5 g surrounded by turtles
1338 "
Skeletons
1339 Thommys 132. g ♀ 225-75-34-5
Caught on lime, sandy Adobe.
1340 Least Sandpiper ♀ 21.5 g
Shot on small silt bar in mud.
1341 Sage Thrasher ♂ 35. g
Shot on cane stalk on lime.
1342 I sat one live all morning behind
some mud decoys hoping to get
a shot at some geese or cranes. Several
flocks of both flew by but there
was just a slight pause or a
few circles to show that they
noticed the decoys. These decoys
are all long pieces of mud the
size & general shape of ducks
& geese with pieces of paper
tied across their backs.
I have used these decoys
on mud flats for evening
shooting with great success
in Berkeley at Flemings Point.
