I spent thanksgiving up at a Simplot ranch in Idaho which just happens to sit on a bee-utiful little stream and a private pond....though I'd bring along the scatter gun for in between pies!
I tagged a couple geese off the pond a few weeks ago during the wife's elk hunt.

They were still around but I couldn't get close enough to them for a kill shot. Spent my afternoons working the river and pulled out a few goldeneyes, some mallards and one wayward blue bill hen (she musta been wayy lost!)
One of the mallards I knocked down was a real looker! Must have been an older bird, huge gray body and a double curl tail! Would have considered him for mounting if I had the money.
