top) guns ready, sitting in the boat waiting for ducks to fly by. james, and wayne rideout are pictured here. mervin yellowback had left us to try and spook some birds into flying our direction.

second from top) mervin came back and started calling some geese in. even though it is hard to tell these pictures are taken from inside our boat which we have pulled up onto the ice and covered in spruce trees. we also have decoys sitting in the water in front of our boat.

goose is the number one bird that people go for, and goose soup is super popular, but a bit of an acquired taste. there was a special signing here in the community for an all weather road to be built and some people from winnipeg flew in. there was a big community meal and everybody was fed goose soup. the outsiders were at first excited for the clumpy goose broth with flour, but thier faces were priceless as they politely forced themselves to finish their bowls. i went by later to offer them seconds, they were quick to say no.

second from bottom) a shot of our boat/hunting blind and decoys. lethal.

bottom) i think i probably knocked these ones down as wayne doesn't have much of a shot, but he looks good holding them.
