Ducks and Geese start early in September. While not on a major flyway. we have so much water there are lots of resident birds. A favorite bird trip with a dog is to sneak up on waterfowl in small beaver ponds. Often spotting Ruffed Grouse during the sneak. You don't shoot the Grouse because you will scare away the ducks and geese. After you have shot and retrieved the waterfowl then start looking for the grouse which usually aren't to far away. Often the Ruffies will flush from the trees and make for very challenging wing shots. The Key here is swing on the birds flight path and follow through as you shoot. much of the time you wont see the bird fall because of the thick cover but a good dog will come back with a dead bird.
